Speaker 1: It's now officially open. This is draft season. Welcome everybody.

2
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:14,319
Speaker 2: We head into about a quarter of the way through

3
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 2: the college football season, John Smoke, Tony Pauline from Sports

4
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:19,960
Speaker 2: Keda as usual, and we welcome in our first guest

5
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:22,920
Speaker 2: since the season began, our good friend from The Athletic

6
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 2: Dane Brugler, author of The Beast and past and podcast host.

7
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 2: And I guess it's not really a new podcast, Dan,

8
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 2: and it's a reborn podcast, Building the Beast with Dave Hellman.

9
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, part of the Athletic Football Show podcast. Yeah, we

10
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 3: kind of were really leaning into The Beast and kind

11
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,560
Speaker 3: of giving people a sneak peek of what goes into

12
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 3: it and all the conversations we're having about these players.

13
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 4: So yeah, that's weekly.

14
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 3: It goes up every Wednesday, So hopefully people are checking

15
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 3: that out.

16
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, they should go check it. Dave's awesome.

17
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 2: We had him on the Giant Tuddle a couple weeks

18
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 2: ago leading up to the Cowboys game.

19
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: He should be Everyone should go check that out.

20
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 2: Gentlemen, Let's talk about the games this week, and one

21
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 2: game we thought was going to be great in the

22
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 2: Big Ten was Indiana and Illinois ends up being a Laugher.

23
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 2: I put that game on at halftime and I turned

24
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 2: it right off. Tony, start with you, what'd you think

25
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 2: of that game and what kind of either surprise you

26
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 2: about it or or kind of kind of motivated you

27
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 2: to be like, Wow, that's a pretty impressive job by Indiana.

28
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 5: Yeah.

29
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 6: Well, we previewed this game last week and we said

30
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 6: that this game was sort of a stepping stone or

31
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 6: could be a stepping stone for Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza,

32
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 6: And it was exactly that. Now Illinois was without Xavier Scott,

33
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 6: their top or one of their top defensive backs, and

34
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 6: then Miles Scott, the safety, got booted because of a

35
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 6: targeting call. But I mean, you know, you said you

36
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 6: turned it off at halftime, and Dooza's numbers at halftime

37
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 6: were fifteen of seventeen passing, two hundred and twenty yards

38
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 6: and four tds in the first half. It was a

39
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 6: pretty simple I was impressed with Mendoza. It was a

40
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 6: pretty simple game plan. There was a lot of short passes,

41
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 6: a lot of receiver screens, a lot of that yardage

42
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 6: was won after the catch, but he got the job done.

43
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 6: I didn't see a lot of difficult throws. We know

44
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 6: he can make those difficult throws. Obviously, I don't think

45
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 6: anybody expected Indiana to go in and blow blowing Illinois

46
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 6: out the way they did. They're an incredibly well coached team.

47
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 6: I've said on the show before, I think Kurt Signetti

48
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:27,399
Speaker 6: is the best coach in America, college or pro, and

49
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 6: people are excited for Mendoza because now he's going to

50
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 6: get the coach the Signetti coaching. I thought it was

51
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 6: an outstanding performance. I didn't think he made many difficult

52
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 6: NFL type passes. But you know, their game plan worked

53
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 6: early and don't fix what ain't broke. That seemed to

54
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 6: be their mindset throughout all four quarters.

55
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 2: You know, it's funny we did not compare notes on

56
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 2: this game before we started, and Dane put up a

57
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 2: Fernando Mendoza article up on the Athletic this morning, and Dane,

58
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 2: it wasn't word for word, but it's pretty much the

59
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 2: same thing that Tony gave on on Mendoza did in

60
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:02,799
Speaker 2: that game. And I think he's what your twentyeh rated

61
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:03,679
Speaker 2: prospect right now.

62
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, he started the season at number twenty overall, and

63
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 3: that's like I think Tony hit the nail on the head,

64
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 3: like nothing happened in this game that I think will

65
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 3: drastically change your opinion of Mendoza coming out.

66
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 4: I mean, he was terrific.

67
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 3: He finished ninety one percent completions, five touchdowns. He now

68
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 3: has fourteen touchdowns this year, leads the FBS. Still no interceptions.

69
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 3: And it's not that you know, we're throwing cold water

70
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 3: on the on the praise, because Mendoza certainly deserves it.

71
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 3: But he had one pass attempt over twenty yards and

72
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 3: it was incomplete. Seventeen of his twenty one completions were

73
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 3: under ten yards. But at the same time, you know,

74
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 3: what's the job of a quarterback. It's to take what

75
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 3: the defense gives you, move the sticks, put points on

76
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 3: the board, don't make mistakes. That's exactly what Fernando Mendoza

77
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 3: did in this game. So he certainly deserves praise for that.

78
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 3: I was, I think most impressed with the way he

79
00:03:56,240 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 3: handled pressure, whether you know it's against the blitz, especially

80
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 3: down on the red zone when things get a lot

81
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 3: more condensed, it's easy for quarterbacks to get a little antsy.

82
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 3: He was terrific in those situations. He's so smart pre

83
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 3: snaff he understands, Okay, they're gonna blitz me, it's coming

84
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 3: from here. This is where the vulnerable matchup could be

85
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 3: in coverage. He understands where that's coming from. I mean,

86
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 3: that's that's like you know, Tony mentioned, that's that's coaching.

87
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 3: A lot of the preparation that goes into this, but

88
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 3: a lot of it's on the quarterback that in the

89
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 3: moment execute and that's what he did so terrific against

90
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 3: the blitz. Showed his poise, his accuracy.

91
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:35,599
Speaker 4: He's not an elite physical talent.

92
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 3: The size is good, but the arm strength and mobility

93
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 3: it's more good than great. And sometimes that'll pop up.

94
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 3: But in a game like this where he just got

95
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 3: the ball out of his hands, found the open, open player,

96
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 3: I mean, he was terrific.

97
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 2: No question about it. I want to jump to Oklahoma

98
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 2: and Auburn here. By the way, kudos to myself are

99
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 2: not calling him Ramiro Mendoza, former Yankees relief betcher, because

100
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 2: I've been doing that for about two months.

101
00:04:59,160 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 1: Good job, John.

102
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 5: Uh.

103
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 2: We have a bunch of Oklahoma guys in the second

104
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 2: part of the show, so we'll leave those guys alone.

105
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 2: But I know both of you guys really love the

106
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 2: Auburn offensive tackle who are kind of creeping up draft

107
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 2: boards here. How'd you think he did in that game

108
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 2: against Oklahoma, Dan, We'll start with you on this one.

109
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 4: I thought he, you know, held up pretty well.

110
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 3: Xavier Chaplain, left tackle transfer to Virginia Tech.

111
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 4: You know, he's he's a big, big.

112
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 3: Guy, and he just he does a very good job

113
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 3: staying square to rushers. And even though I think there

114
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 3: are some flexibility concerns, and you know that shows up

115
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 3: when he's trying to recover. If you stay in front

116
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 3: of your guy from the get go, you're gonna be

117
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,159
Speaker 3: in good shape. And so he's still a young player

118
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 3: in some of those areas, but I thought he held

119
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 3: up pretty well for most of this game. Now are

120
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 3: Mason Thomas, who had some noise in the second half

121
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 3: of this game. He missed the first half and so

122
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 3: we didn't get some of those matchups. But our Mason

123
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 3: Thomas certainly showed up in the second half when he

124
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 3: was back out there, so you know that. But you know,

125
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 3: I think some of that was not against Chaplin on

126
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 3: the left side. So this is a this is an

127
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 3: Auburn offensive line that is talented, but Oklahoma, they found

128
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:07,679
Speaker 3: some success, and part of that is the things Jackson

129
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 3: Arnold holds the ball way longer than you should, and

130
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 3: that's kind of the Achilles Hill with this offense. But

131
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 3: I thought Chaplain for the most part, did okay, Tony.

132
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 2: How about Chaplain for you and anyone was jump after

133
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 2: you in that game?

134
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, I like Chaplain.

135
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 6: I thought he was okay, but he didn't look like

136
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 6: a top ten player in this game against Oklahoma. And

137
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 6: that's what I rate him as. So I guess in

138
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 6: the overall scheme, I thought he should have been a

139
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 6: little bit better. Not that I just like him, not

140
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 6: that I thought, uh, you know, he played poorly. I

141
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,600
Speaker 6: just was so high on him. I mean I did

142
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 6: a mock draft before the season. I had him going

143
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 6: top five. That's how highly I think of this guy,

144
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 6: going back to prior to years at Virginia Tech. Now,

145
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 6: obviously you go from Virginia Tech to Oklahoma, as you see,

146
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 6: it's going to be a step up in competition. And

147
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 6: as Dame pointed out, you know that Oklahoma front four,

148
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 6: defensive front four, they got a lot of talent. They're

149
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:08,280
Speaker 6: probably mid mid round picks, day three picks, but they're

150
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 6: talented guys, and I think that, as Dan pointed out,

151
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 6: the Auburn the Auburn quarterback holds the ball a little

152
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 6: bit too long, which makes the offensive lines job that

153
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 6: much harder. I think Oklahoma's offensive line also stood up

154
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:28,239
Speaker 6: well against the Auburn pass rush. You know, Keldrick Falk

155
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 6: one sack, one tackle for loss, had some pressures, but

156
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 6: he wasn't the dominant force I think I expected him

157
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 6: to be. I thought he was going to really overmatch

158
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 6: that Sooner offensive line, and it came in spurts. I mean,

159
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 6: Oklahoma was able to move the ball down the field.

160
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 6: Robert Woodard Wooded the other pass rusher that people tend

161
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 6: to forget about. He had a solid game, but it

162
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 6: wasn't the dominant performance that I expected from either Chaplain

163
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 6: or Falk.

164
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: Where do you think of falked in?

165
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's fair. I mean with Fulk, it's

166
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 3: really the traits that you're betting on. It runs me

167
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 3: a lot of Michael Williams from last year coming out

168
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 3: of Georgia. Like you see the ability, you see the flashes.

169
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 3: It's just you just wanted to be more consistent. And

170
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 3: with Falk, he doesn't take over games necessarily, but you

171
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 3: will hear his name called throughout the game because he

172
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 3: is making those plays. You just wish for a guy

173
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 3: that we're talking about is maybe a top five overall pick.

174
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 3: He was a little more more dominant, especially in a

175
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 3: big game like this on the road, where you know

176
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,959
Speaker 3: your offense is struggling you as a defense, you need

177
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 3: to go make a play, and Fulk was fine. I

178
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 3: just when you look at him through the lens of

179
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:45,439
Speaker 3: a possible top five, top seven overall pick, he wasn't

180
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 3: as dominant as maybe you would like to see.

181
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:49,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, no question about it, all right, Mammy.

182
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 2: In Florida guys obviously, but Florida has their problems, especially

183
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 2: on offense right now.

184
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: It's been a struggle for them. Tony. Anybody jump out

185
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,439
Speaker 1: at you, but in this contest, no.

186
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 5: And Carsion Beck out at me.

187
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 6: You know, people are talking about him as a Heisman

188
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 6: Trophy top ten for the Heisman Trophy, an early pick.

189
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 6: I mean, I think the best thing that Carson Beck

190
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 6: did was he didn't get his team behind the eight

191
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 6: ball as he did at Georgia. I mean, he's got

192
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 6: the physical skills, but he's not a difference maker as

193
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,199
Speaker 6: far as I'm concerned. You know, he's a nice quarterback.

194
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 6: He's not a guy that's going to carry a team

195
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 6: on their shoulders. I think people got all excited that

196
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 6: first game against Notre Dame, where he played relatively well,

197
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,319
Speaker 6: but we're seeing now that you know, Notre Dame has

198
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:36,559
Speaker 6: its struggles, especially on defense. I think the big takeaway

199
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 6: for me was really Carson Beck could not put Florida

200
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 6: way until late in the game when the opportunities existed.

201
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 3: Dan, your thoughts on that game, Yeah, I mean I

202
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 3: think I echo a lot of those sentiments with Carson Beck.

203
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 3: You know, good on him for what he did in

204
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 3: the opener against Notre Dame and kind of get that

205
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 3: monkey off his back. Had to live with, you know,

206
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 3: the way things ended at Georgia, the way the season

207
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,319
Speaker 3: was disappointing. He had to live with that over the

208
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 3: entire offseason. You know, the elbow injury, wasn't able to

209
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 3: throw for so long. For him to go out there

210
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 3: and play like he did against Center Dame, great, that

211
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 3: was good for him. But I do think, yeah, we

212
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 3: need to pump the brakes a little bit in terms

213
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 3: of him being a top fifty type of prospect. I

214
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 3: don't think he's necessarily done anything to deserve that type

215
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 3: of praise, But I will.

216
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 4: Say I don't know that.

217
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 3: It's gonna get all that much tougher with this ACC schedule.

218
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 3: Now they do have to go to Tallahassee here in

219
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 3: what two weeks, going to play Florida State. That'll be

220
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 3: a big game in a lot of ways. But you know,

221
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 3: just like you know, what do we say about cam

222
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 3: Ward last year? It was Okay, he's a good player,

223
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 3: but how many true challenges did he face with that

224
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 3: ACC schedule? And it'll be kind of the same thing

225
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 3: with Beck this year. That's why that game at Florida

226
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,559
Speaker 3: State will be so big. I'll talk more about rubyen

227
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 3: bayin a little bit later, but man, I just cannot

228
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,439
Speaker 3: say enough good things about the way he's played. He

229
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 3: takes over games playing simple. I mean, you cannot watch

230
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 3: the Notre Dame game, the USF game, the Florida game

231
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 3: and not notice number four because the way he affects

232
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 3: the backfield both against the run against the pass. I mean,

233
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,959
Speaker 3: he's number two in the entire all of college football

234
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 3: and pressures so far this year.

235
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 4: And this is this is a player who.

236
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 3: Looks like he wants to be a top ten pick

237
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 3: because that's the way he's playing.

238
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 1: Yeah.

239
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 2: Absolutely, I'm with you, all right, final game I want

240
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 2: to touch on and this will kind of catapult us

241
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 2: into our second conversation Missoo and South Carolina. We'll get

242
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 2: to Lenora's Sellers in a second before we get him Dane.

243
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:42,959
Speaker 2: The Missouri run game has impressed me this year. They've

244
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 2: come off to a pretty fast start. Anyone else in

245
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 2: this game besides Sellers that you think is worth noting

246
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 2: in talking about.

247
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 3: I think the Missouri defensive Linzyane Young I had a

248
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 3: really good game. I than he finished with maybe just

249
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 3: one sack, but the pressure numbers were up there. I

250
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 3: mean he was affecting the back in a big way.

251
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 3: McClellan transfer from what Florida. I mean he he a

252
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 3: few times got into the backfield and made some noise. So,

253
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 3: you know, I think Missouri has always been one of

254
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 3: those teams that's kind of you know, they're knocking on

255
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 3: the door. They they've always got a few prospects, but

256
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 3: they never can just kind of break through. This feels

257
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 3: like one of their better teams this year. With the

258
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 3: way Bobula is playing, the Penn State transfer. Who you know,

259
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 3: he being a first year starter. There's gonna be mistakes,

260
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 3: and he's had some, but he can at least move

261
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 3: the offense up and down the field hardy.

262
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 4: Like you mentioned the run game.

263
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 3: He's only a true sophomore, so can't really get excited

264
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 3: about him as a prospect just yet. But this Missouri

265
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,679
Speaker 3: team feels like they've got some guys that are gonna,

266
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 3: if not propel them to the top of the SEC

267
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 3: this year, at least make them a hard out where

268
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 3: they're gonna be. They're gonna give whoever. They're playing a

269
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 3: tough battle each week.

270
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, very well coached team. Talked about Signetti and Indiana.

271
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 5: I think bas just they don't have stars.

272
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 6: There's no armand Membo on that depth chart this year.

273
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 6: But they're just very well coached. As far as I

274
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 6: was concerned, I like the the game Cock defensive back

275
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 6: Jalen Kilgore. Bigger guy, physical, kind of fits that mold

276
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 6: that we've seen come out of that program in the past.

277
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 6: Good ball skills, it's got NFL size, and his game

278
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:26,319
Speaker 6: is progressing. They actually have three guys, three defensive backs there,

279
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 6: but I think kil Gore has really stood out thus far,

280
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:30,719
Speaker 6: and he was he was good against Missouri.

281
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 2: All Right, we are all going to do a ton

282
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 2: on the quarterbacks today. This will be our one overarching

283
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 2: quarterback question. From everything you've seen Dane Lenora Sellers in

284
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 2: this game, he made some wow throws. Then again, he

285
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 2: had some other throws. You know, he had that you

286
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 2: know passy airmailed on that final drive, you know, trying

287
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 2: to drive down and tie or take the lead in

288
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 2: that game. But to me, of all the quarterbacks I've

289
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 2: seen and watched so far, he's still the guy that

290
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 2: that I mark and say, there's been enough wow stuff,

291
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 2: even though it's been inconsistent where to me, he's still

292
00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 2: the clear leader in the clubhass year for first quarterback

293
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 2: off the board.

294
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 4: I think that's fair.

295
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's still very early, and these things that these

296
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 3: conversations can swing wildly week to week depending on how

297
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 3: these guys play, which is of course always tough because

298
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 3: you know, we want to bet on body of work

299
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 3: and trades more so than you know, the game to

300
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 3: game fluctuation. But I would agree, I mean, if take

301
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 3: arch out of it, going back to my quarterback rankings

302
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 3: over the summer based off of what I expected coming.

303
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 4: Into the year.

304
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 3: It was Leonora Seller's one, and then Garrettnsmier two, and

305
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 3: then Mendoza three, And I think so far, I'm not

306
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 3: really changing that. Like I said, we're taking Arch out

307
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 3: of the conversation for now, those three quarterbacks, I think

308
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 3: in that order, I'm comfortable with that. At this point,

309
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 3: Sellers just gives you so much dual threat ability. He's

310
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 3: so young for a player that is still just twenty

311
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 3: years old and just turn twenty like he's he's a

312
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 3: young player who's still figuring things out, throws should and

313
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 3: shouldn't make. He had that three play sequence was the

314
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 3: second quarter where drove him down scored a touchdown in

315
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 3: some really impressive passes. What he does on the move,

316
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 3: the way he can change platforms and create out a structure,

317
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 3: it is really impressive. And then I it sounds hyperbolic,

318
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 3: but he might be the strongest quarterback I've ever evaluated.

319
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 3: And that's with all due respect to Jalen Hurts and

320
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 3: Cam Newton. And I mean, he is so powerful as

321
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 3: a runner, and that dual threat.

322
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 4: Ability wears you a little bit.

323
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 3: He's already been banged up a little bit this year,

324
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 3: So can you stay healthy the rest of the way?

325
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 4: And you know, I just with Nil.

326
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 5: Now.

327
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 3: It really makes these quarterback decisions about whether to go

328
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 3: back to school come out early. It really clouds those

329
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 3: decisions because he'll be able to go back to South

330
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 3: Carolina and get paid if he wants to if he

331
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 3: doesn't feel ready. And you know, he's only a red

332
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 3: shirt sophomore, so I wouldn't be surprised if he does

333
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 3: choose to go that route. So it does make these

334
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 3: quarterback decisions a little more murky.

335
00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean listen, if you follow me on Twitter,

336
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 6: go back to August. I put out a tweet after

337
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 6: watching the South Carolina film from twenty twenty four, and

338
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 6: I said, if the draft were held today and I

339
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 6: had the top pick and I needed a quarterback, I'm

340
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 6: taking Lendora Sellers and he's not disappointed. The thing about

341
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 6: it is he makes all the throws. I mean, he

342
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 6: can power the ball through the tight windows. He gets

343
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 6: the ball through the tight spots with great speed and accuracy.

344
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 6: But as you saw study and night, he can also

345
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 6: put touch on the ball downfield. I mean he will

346
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 6: deliver it nicely, place the ball into the receiver's hands.

347
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 6: I think the other thing that you know you need

348
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 6: to talk about with Sellers is doesn't have great talents

349
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 6: around it. He doesn't have great pass catches. People talk

350
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 6: about Nick Harper, Yeah he's developing, but Harber, as far

351
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 6: as I'm concerned, is still a track and field guy

352
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 6: trying to learn the receiver position. You look at cam

353
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 6: Ward last year, you look at Shador Sanders, you know,

354
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 6: you look at Jackson Darritt. These guys had a lot

355
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 6: of talent to throw. Sellers is basically the man in

356
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 6: the South Carolina offense, and he consistently pushes them up

357
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 6: and down the field and moves the offense. There's still

358
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 6: some things in his game that he needs to iron out,

359
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 6: you know. As Dan pointed out, he's a red shirt sophomore.

360
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 6: I love his game. I love his upside. Dane talked

361
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,160
Speaker 6: about how strong is I mean he's not only strong

362
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,199
Speaker 6: like he's got a strong build. I mean he's a

363
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,160
Speaker 6: guy who will be able to with stand the pressure,

364
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 6: with stand the rush and get the pass off with

365
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,679
Speaker 6: defenders draped on it and make good passes. Listen, we

366
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 6: talked about him two weeks ago, John and I used

367
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:26,400
Speaker 6: my number one quarterback. I think again, as Dan pointed out,

368
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 6: there's ways to go. But I said in August he

369
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 6: would be the first pick in the draft. I say today,

370
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 6: September twenty third, I still think he's the first pick

371
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:36,399
Speaker 6: of the draft.

372
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 2: Now, you guys have a much more complete, thorough and

373
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 2: historical knowledge of the draft than I do. But I

374
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:43,959
Speaker 2: feel like, at this point in the process, guys, this

375
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:47,399
Speaker 2: is a much more unsettled class than we're usually looking at.

376
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 1: And I'll put it to you this way, and I

377
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: want to get your guys take on this.

378
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 2: At this point last year, I think we all felt

379
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 2: pretty darn good about Travis Hunter being a top five,

380
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 2: top ten pick. We thought pretty good at Abdul Carter

381
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 2: being a top five, top ten pick. We thought really

382
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 2: good about Will Campbell be in the top five top

383
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 2: ten pick. We knew Ashton Genty, you know, running back

384
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 2: aside was one of the top three players in this

385
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,199
Speaker 2: draft class. You know, Kelvin Banks is someone we had

386
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:12,640
Speaker 2: talked about. Right now, Dan, who are you confident enough

387
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 2: to say when we do this draft in April?

388
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 1: Right now? That all right?

389
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 2: I feel really good that this guy's going to be

390
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:20,920
Speaker 2: a top ten pick. And he deserves to be there.

391
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 3: I think your overall point is absolutely correct. Like it's

392
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,479
Speaker 3: just it feels very unsettled at the top in the

393
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 3: top ten. Part of it is the uncertainty a quarterback. Well,

394
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,159
Speaker 3: I mean, I agree with about Leonora Sellers. If he

395
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 3: comes out, I do think he'll be a top ten pick,

396
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,400
Speaker 3: but you know there's still a question marks about that.

397
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,160
Speaker 3: I mean, a guy like Caleb Downs is you can

398
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 3: make an argument as the best player in the country,

399
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,639
Speaker 3: but you know, we don't see safeties go that early.

400
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 3: That's just the NFL has told us loud and clear

401
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 3: how they feel about drafting safeties, and Caleb Downs is

402
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 3: not ed.

403
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:55,400
Speaker 1: Reed.

404
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,440
Speaker 3: He's not a guy that consistently takes the ball away.

405
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:00,879
Speaker 3: He's more of a guy that will play closer to

406
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 3: the line of scrimmage and you can man him up

407
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 3: as a nickel and he can cover, but he doesn't

408
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,159
Speaker 3: play He's not gonna play deep. That's not what he

409
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,640
Speaker 3: does in the Ohio State defense. So the Caleb Down

410
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 3: I mean, it shouldn't shock anybody if Caleb Downs is

411
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,640
Speaker 3: the eleventh overall pick, right, even though he could argue

412
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 3: he's top three player. You know, same thing with Kyle

413
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:21,679
Speaker 3: Hamilton was he was coming out, So Caleb Downs is

414
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:23,439
Speaker 3: a tough guy to talk about in terms of is

415
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:26,360
Speaker 3: he a lock top ten pick? I think Peter Woods,

416
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 3: even though he has not lit it up by any

417
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 3: means over the first few weeks that Clempson defense as

418
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 3: a whole has been disappointing.

419
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 4: TJ.

420
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 3: Parker the edge rusher has been fine, but far from

421
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,160
Speaker 3: great or what you would expect from a top ten pick.

422
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,880
Speaker 3: Peter Woods, the production isn't there necessarily for a guy

423
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 3: we thought would be a top three, top five pick,

424
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 3: But I do think that he's still making an impact,

425
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 3: and I think it's harder to find those guys, the

426
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 3: defensive tackles, the interior defensive linemen, who have that type

427
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:56,399
Speaker 3: of talent.

428
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 4: So if I had a.

429
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 3: Bet on one of these guys, I think I would

430
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 3: lean wards Peter Woods as who entered the year as

431
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 3: my number one overall player in this draft, and I

432
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 3: don't think he's lived up to that. But if I

433
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:08,159
Speaker 3: had a bet on one of these guys being a

434
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 3: top ten pick, I think it would be him.

435
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 6: How about you, Connor, I'm gonna say I think kind

436
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 6: of to divert, but also agree with Dane. I think

437
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:18,639
Speaker 6: a lot of the top ten is kind of in

438
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 6: flux because, in my opinion, Clemson has been so poor

439
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 6: this year.

440
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 5: You know, whether TJ.

441
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,880
Speaker 6: Parker, Antonio Williams has not played because he's been injured.

442
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,400
Speaker 6: You know, so I think that's that has basically said

443
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 6: it put it in flux. I absolutely agree about Cale

444
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,640
Speaker 6: Downs wrote about this, you know, right after the twenty

445
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,119
Speaker 6: twenty five draft was over. Cale Downs is going to

446
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 6: be the best player, could be the best player entering

447
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 6: the draft. But he plays safety. But I think he's

448
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,880
Speaker 6: also the type of safety that in my opinion, he's

449
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 6: Brian Branch squared. If you know what, if you get

450
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 6: my draft, I mean he can do a lot more

451
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:51,880
Speaker 6: things than Brian Branch late second round pick who's having

452
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 6: great success with the Detroit Lions. I would put Keldrick

453
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 6: Fwalk in there, even though he's disappointed me. I think

454
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:02,439
Speaker 6: the explome he shows, the versatility, He's not just an

455
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 6: edge rusher. You can drop him up with wana scrimmage.

456
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 6: He makes plays in pursuit. I think he's going to

457
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 6: be a top ten pick. You know, my heart says

458
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,160
Speaker 6: Xavier Chaplain, but my head says, well, let's just wait

459
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,399
Speaker 6: and see how the rest of the season plays out.

460
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:17,639
Speaker 6: So I would go absolutely with Sellers. I would go

461
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 6: at Caleb Downs, and I throw Keldrick Falk in there

462
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 6: as three guys right now that I see as potential

463
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 6: definite top ten picks in twenty twenty six.

464
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,959
Speaker 3: All Right, more guys, I would go in there. Spencer

465
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 3: Fano from Utah. I would throw him in there as well,

466
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,439
Speaker 3: as a guy that I think I want to get

467
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:37,119
Speaker 3: him to see him to get stronger, especially in the

468
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 3: run game against Texas Tech, which is a great I

469
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:44,239
Speaker 3: think barometer for those Utah tackles over the weekend. It

470
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 3: wasn't perfect by any means, but I think he has

471
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 3: done enough where you're excited about what he's going to

472
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 3: look like in two years and three years. And so

473
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,879
Speaker 3: I think Spencer Fano is a Utah right tackle. He

474
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 3: would be in that conversation for me to be a

475
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 3: top ten pick when you stack it. I'm just not

476
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,959
Speaker 3: seeing nine players better than him so far for next

477
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 3: year's class.

478
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, Danil, you absolutely beat me to the punch. Al Tony,

479
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 2: I throw it back to you and you mentioned chaplain

480
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 2: offensive tackle could end up being the best position in

481
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:14,439
Speaker 2: this group. What other tackle should we be keeping an

482
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 2: eye on that could try to push their way into

483
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 2: that top ten. We all know how needy the NFL

484
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 2: is trying to find offensive tackles that can start.

485
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,640
Speaker 6: You know, potentially Kayden Proctor of Alabama, maybe the next

486
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 6: JC Latham. I think the guy plays on the left

487
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 6: side in college is going to be a good right

488
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 6: tackle fundamentally sound, plays with great pad level moves, relatively well,

489
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 6: and he's a mountain of a man.

490
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:36,880
Speaker 5: Magoa of Miami.

491
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 6: I don't think he's a top ten pick, but I

492
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 6: think he could be a top twenty pick, maybe a

493
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 6: top fifteen pick. He's an athletic right tackle. Fano the

494
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 6: other kid from Utah kleb Lamou, who plays on the

495
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 6: left side, it's gotta get a little bit Bigger's got to

496
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:53,360
Speaker 6: get a little bit stronger, but has those traits. Keep

497
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 6: an eye on Ryan Bear of Pittsburgh, their tackle. He

498
00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 6: is a big, athletic guy that has just played better

499
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 6: and better and better. He is a fourth year junior.

500
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:07,360
Speaker 6: I'm pretty sure, you know, barring injuries, very much, very

501
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,880
Speaker 6: likely to enter the draft. A lot of people don't

502
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 6: talk about him, but I have again, not a top

503
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 6: ten pick on him. Uh, top ten player, but my

504
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 6: mind a guy who will battle to be a late

505
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 6: first round pick.

506
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 2: Dan, you mentioned that Texas Tech Utah game. Anyone else

507
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 2: jumped out at you in that contest?

508
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 3: I think, uh, the we talked about the Utah tackles,

509
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,680
Speaker 3: but the defensive line for Texas Tech. You know, they

510
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 3: were a big reason why the Red Raiders came away

511
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 3: with that win. You know, they all they're all transfers

512
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 3: in Romelo Heights and Bailey on the edges, he's so

513
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,880
Speaker 3: excited now. I do worry about him being too much

514
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 3: of a one trick pony where speed burst off the edge,

515
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 3: it's it's explosive. You know that will there's a place

516
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 3: fat in the NFL. But do you have to hide

517
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 3: him a little bit versus the run? Do you can

518
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,879
Speaker 3: he be a true every down player? Those are some

519
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 3: of the questions I have with Bailey. But again, you're

520
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:07,400
Speaker 3: just not gonna find many guys that have that type

521
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 3: of burst off the edge. The guys on the interior

522
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:13,119
Speaker 3: were awesome, so I mean Rodriguez, a linebacker, had at

523
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 3: an outstanding game. So that Texas Tech defense and obviously

524
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:17,919
Speaker 3: not what you think about when you think of the

525
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:21,440
Speaker 3: Red Raiders historically, but they've really invested on that side

526
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,680
Speaker 3: of the ball and it showed big time in that win,

527
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 3: and it's past due. We talk about Texas Tech as

528
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 3: being a true contender for the playoffs because of the

529
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 3: way they can win in the Big twelve and in

530
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,119
Speaker 3: the way that they could make some noise down the stretch.

531
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 5: Yeah.

532
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 6: Dante Balfour, the cornerback, the Charlotte transfer. From Charlotte, He's

533
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 6: got excellent size, he splashed some ball skills. I thought

534
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 6: he played exceptionally well against Utah. You know, you mentioned

535
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,439
Speaker 6: that defensive line, all his transfers. Lee Hunter, the Central

536
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 6: Florida transfer, who was a good player at UCF. I mean,

537
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 6: he was a consistent player, had a lot of good

538
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:57,399
Speaker 6: moments in that game.

539
00:24:57,760 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 1: All Right, So let's get to exercise.

540
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 2: And the reason I kind of put the show together

541
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 2: this way is that we talk about it being an

542
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 2: unsettled draft class, which means there's gonna be a lot

543
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 2: of opportunities for players to kind of step up, break

544
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 2: out of maybe what the picture we've put on them

545
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 2: over the course of the summer and last season and

546
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 2: what they've done in college so far and take a

547
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 2: step here and be a player that fights into the

548
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:20,679
Speaker 2: first round, maybe even fights further than that. So I

549
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 2: had Dane and Tony to get kind of one player

550
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 2: from most of these positions that they think have really

551
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 2: outplayed their preseason expectations. A couple of spots. We have

552
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 2: the same guys most of the spots. It's a little

553
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 2: bit different. I think this will be fun. But you

554
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:35,680
Speaker 2: guys both have John Mattier as your quarterback. Dane, Why

555
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 2: John Mattier.

556
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that the Baker Mayfield comps feel way

557
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 3: too on the.

558
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:43,399
Speaker 4: Nose, but it kind of fits.

559
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:45,919
Speaker 3: I mean, guys that were overlooked out of high school,

560
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 3: transferred Oklahoma. They're short, but they're not They're they're built

561
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 3: really well, you know, a good.

562
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,119
Speaker 4: Arm, really juiced up competitors.

563
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 3: They use any type of doubt as fuel, and they

564
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 3: just there's no doubt. Who's the leader of those all offenses. Now,

565
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 3: I think there's two many differences between these two players.

566
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 3: Baker was I think, more naturally accurate. Mattier has much

567
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 3: more twitch and is more of a dual threat weapon.

568
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 3: Now I'm very interested to see can Mattier because.

569
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:15,399
Speaker 4: He takes some hits.

570
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:19,119
Speaker 3: Can he hold up over a full SEC schedule taking

571
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,439
Speaker 3: some of those hits. I also want to see him

572
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 3: cut down on the turnovers. He has at least one

573
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 3: turnover in each of the first four games, and then

574
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 3: just be more precise with the ball placement. The accuracy

575
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 3: is what made Baker the number one overall pick that

576
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 3: year and why he's thriving right now with the Bucks.

577
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,199
Speaker 3: So Matier has got a lot of juice in his

578
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:39,159
Speaker 3: arm and you know, kind of throws it like a

579
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:42,400
Speaker 3: second baseman where it's just it's sometimes a side arm.

580
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 4: It's just he gets it out.

581
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 3: Fast, you know, just maybe making sure that he's putting

582
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:52,159
Speaker 3: them showing proving the scouts he can consistently put the

583
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 3: ball where he wants. That needs to be the priority

584
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 3: for him over the second half of the season. But

585
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:01,440
Speaker 3: I think he's what we saw in Washington State. There

586
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 3: were reasons to be excited, but also reasons to and

587
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 3: I'm not sure this is really going to work in

588
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 3: the SEC.

589
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 4: So far, it has worked terrifically.

590
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,400
Speaker 3: I think he's right there in the Heisman conversation and

591
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 3: he should be mentioned as a guy in this quarterback

592
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:17,439
Speaker 3: mix that's moving up a little bit.

593
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 5: Yeah.

594
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 6: First thing is kudos to Jim Nagy, right, a friend

595
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:24,119
Speaker 6: of all of us, going to Oklahoma and bringing a

596
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,880
Speaker 6: guy like John Mattier in. I agree with the accuracy part,

597
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 6: and we've talked about it on this show before in

598
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 6: the past with with with John. Going back to the

599
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:34,439
Speaker 6: Michigan game, you know, you see a lot of passes.

600
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,400
Speaker 6: Receivers are leaving their feet, receivers are slowing up, adjusting

601
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 6: backwards rather than the past placement. I think those interceptions

602
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:43,679
Speaker 6: of the result in that he seems a little bit

603
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 6: late pulling the trigger, but he's answered the call and

604
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 6: he's done. So, you know in big games, first against

605
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,959
Speaker 6: Michigan on a Saturday night where Oklahoma you know, just

606
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 6: dominated Michigan, and then this pass Saturday against a very

607
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,640
Speaker 6: good Auburn defense. So he's showing his chops, he's showing

608
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,639
Speaker 6: the ability step up in a big spot. You know,

609
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:06,119
Speaker 6: going from Washington State who last year you know, in

610
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,919
Speaker 6: the PAC two was playing in the San Diego States

611
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,920
Speaker 6: and they heard takes in the world you know now

612
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 6: in the SEC. So again from where I had him

613
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 6: UH rated coming into the season, I was kind of

614
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:22,360
Speaker 6: take a stand back and take a wait and see approach.

615
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 5: He's obvious.

616
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:26,120
Speaker 6: He's obviously answered any question that I had and has

617
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 6: exceeded him. I agree with a lot of the concerns.

618
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:31,119
Speaker 6: Holds the ball a little bit too long, doesn't have

619
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 6: a big physical body, you know, gets pounded. Those things

620
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:36,160
Speaker 6: are going to have to be ironed out.

621
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 2: Draft season is presented by Moody's, a proud part of

00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 2: at moodies dot com. Tony, you mentioned the big game

624
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 2: against Michigan that Materia played well. Justice hayines Michigan running back.

625
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 2: He's your running back choice here. I watched him in

626
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 2: the off season. I'm like, all right, you know, three

627
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 2: yards and a cloud of dust type of guy, grinder,

628
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 2: not very explosive. Then like he's running away from guys

629
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 2: and no one's catching him. Like he's a lot faster

630
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 2: than I thought. He was watching him off of last

631
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 2: year's tape.

632
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 6: Week after week after week, and you know, people were

633
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 6: talking about him coming out of Alabama last year where

634
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 6: he had four hundred and forty eight yards, and I

635
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 6: watched and I was like, you, okay, there's some skill there.

636
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 6: There's nothing great, but everye he's had a hundred yard

637
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 6: rushing game against every single week. Against Oklahoma, we talked

638
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 6: about earlier that Oklahoma front four, which is, you know,

639
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 6: which is pretty tough. Although Michigan's got a decent offensive line,

640
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 6: as they always do. And then this past week they

641
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 6: go into Nebraska. Nebraska lost some players on the defensive line,

642
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 6: but they got good linebackers, they got a terrific run

643
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 6: defending safety, and you know, he rushes for one hundred

644
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 6: and twenty five yards and he's exceeded my expectations. You

645
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 6: then have to factor in that Michigan can't throw the ball.

646
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 6: Michigan is not a good passing offense. Michigan had one

647
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 6: hundred and five yards passing this week against Nebraska, Justice

648
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 6: Hayes had one hundred and twenty five yards rushing. So

649
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 6: opponents they know that they can load the box and

650
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 6: challenge Michigan to beat him with the passing game, and

651
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 6: Justin Hayes is still running through him for seventy five

652
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 6: yard touchdown runs. He's explosive, he's fast, he's got a burst,

653
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 6: he can run the daylight. But he's also a relatively

654
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 6: skilled ball carrier. That can make defenders miss, and he's

655
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 6: got good signs. I mean, I thought coming into the

656
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 6: season third fourth round, but third round pick up best.

657
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:21,239
Speaker 6: You know, if this guy keeps this up, especially if

658
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 6: the Michigan passing.

659
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 5: Game can't, I can't kick it into gear.

660
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 6: You're going to talk about this about Justice Justice Haynes

661
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 6: as being a potential top three back for the twenty

662
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 6: twenty six Strift if he decides to go that route.

663
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 2: Dan gave me your take on Haynes, and then you

664
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 2: like Washington running back Jonah Coleman, who I watched for

665
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 2: the first time after you gave me your lesson, I'm like, Wow,

666
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 2: he's suret he's powerful, and he's got some twitch to him.

667
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, I think Haynes says he's done a

668
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 3: really nice job. There's no doubt about it. Especially you

669
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 3: know that what he did at Oklahoma, that that seventy

670
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 3: five geor Obrono's terrific. I think he's really controlled in

671
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 3: his cuts. I like the way he drops his pads

672
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 3: at Ford the balance I think catches the ball cleanly.

673
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 3: So I he's a guy that I'm not quite as

674
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 3: high on, just because I don't necessarily see the same

675
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 3: creative athleticism.

676
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 4: I think he has the vision and the balance.

677
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 3: He's going to get what is blocked for him all day,

678
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 3: and with that Michigan offensive line, he's going to be productive.

679
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 3: But I don't necessarily see the creative athleticism that I

680
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 3: want to see for a guy that I would take

681
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 3: in the top, you know, sixty picks or so.

682
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 4: Now, I think, you know, he's still a really good player.

683
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 4: But this is a.

684
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 3: Draft that's just starving for running backs to kind of

685
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 3: break out, right. I mean, obviously we have love at

686
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 3: the top from Notre Dame, but then running back two,

687
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 3: running back three, running back four. It's wide open, and

688
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 3: Haines has certainly done enough to put himself in that conversation.

689
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 3: Whether that's the fortieth pick or the seventieth pick, you know,

690
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 3: time will tell, but it's a running back class that

691
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 3: feels very wide open. Yeah, And Jodah Coleman is a

692
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 3: player who I think has exceeded my expectations five eight,

693
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 3: two twenty seven short stocky, really dense lower half, terrific

694
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 3: power between the tackles, and I think he's showing better

695
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 3: bursts through the crease than I expected based off of

696
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 3: what I saw over the summer. He's averaging almost seven

697
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 3: yards of carry through three games, nine touchdowns, mistackles all

698
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 3: over the place, and in the vision, the jump cut

699
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 3: ability at that size, to me, he leads all running

700
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 3: backs that I've watched so far in terms of big

701
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 3: play percentage. It's about to get tougher. Ohio State goes

702
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 3: to town this week. So can Coleman keep that momentum

703
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 3: up and you know, still play at this high level

704
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 3: average over five yards of carry against his Buckeye's defense.

705
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:40,719
Speaker 3: If he does, it'll you know, he's played well, but

706
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 3: doing it against the team like Ohio State will certainly

707
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 3: take it a step further.

708
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 2: Tony, we had not talked about Jonah Coleman yet this year.

709
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 2: What are your thoughts on him?

710
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 6: Smart, instinctive, great vision, you know, being able to make

711
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 6: the defenders miss is kind of seeing the feel and

712
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 6: trying to decide what they're going to do.

713
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 5: He runs through great bounce. He's also a good blocker.

714
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 6: I mean people don't talk about that, but on those

715
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:05,479
Speaker 6: situations where he's going to pick up the blitz, you know,

716
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 6: he sees the blitz and he squares into the defenders.

717
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 6: I think That's another aspect of his game that NFL

718
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 6: scouts and teams are gonna like, all.

719
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 2: Right, Tony, let's go to wide receiver and we'll go

720
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 2: to Dion Burks, one of the another Oklahoma players that

721
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 2: we're gonna touch on today.

722
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 6: Yeah and again, you know, coming into the season, scouts

723
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 6: had him created as a second round as a I'm

724
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 6: sorry day two pick. Only played five games last year,

725
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 6: thirty one receptions. You know, we talked about Matier needs weapons,

726
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 6: and Dion Burks is this top weapon. Twenty three receptions

727
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 6: in four games this year. The explosion, the quickness, the

728
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 6: dependability to catch the ball, the willingness to fight to

729
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 6: come away with the difficult reception. He's a little bit smaller,

730
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 6: but he's the guy that can separate through his routes,

731
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 6: you know, finds ways to get open which teams want.

732
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 6: He's got terrific quickness fundamentally for the most part, sound

733
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 6: as a pass catcher, extends his hands to make the

734
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 6: catch away from his frame, and wants to play.

735
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 5: Wants to play.

736
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 6: The reason I rated it, and so Highley is coming

737
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 6: back from that injury, playing only after playing five games

738
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:11,880
Speaker 6: last year. I think the sky's the limit, and again

739
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 6: I thought maybe day three, but I think he's moved

740
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 6: into the top one hundred, or at least he's heading

741
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:19,800
Speaker 6: towards the top one hundred with the way he's playing

742
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 6: this year.

743
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:22,439
Speaker 1: And then this is why wide receivers are so much fun.

744
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:24,319
Speaker 2: You got Burks at like five nine I think one

745
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 2: eighty eight, right, and then you look over and you

746
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,920
Speaker 2: have Ian Strong out of Rutgers, who's just like monster

747
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:31,920
Speaker 2: running around at like six three over two hundred pounds.

748
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he had a good sophomore year last year,

749
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 3: but he looked even better as a junior. Three games

750
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:40,880
Speaker 3: he's had three one hundred yard receiving performances. He's averaging

751
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 3: eight catches per game, and at six three two fifteen

752
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 3: kind of like you mentioned, he's to me, he's the

753
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 3: best contested catch receiver I've watched so far this year.

754
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 3: His adjustments to the football, his ability to use that

755
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 3: length in his body so he always attacks the ball

756
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 3: away from himself, and then his strength to finish. It's

757
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 3: really impressive to watch on the Iowa tape. All the

758
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 3: tapes this year, there are at least a couple contested

759
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:09,279
Speaker 3: catches each game that show his ability to box out,

760
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:11,279
Speaker 3: catch the ball away from himself and then just the

761
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:14,840
Speaker 3: play Strength really stands out. The body controls terrific, so

762
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 3: he can adjust to some of these passes that aren't

763
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 3: quite on point. Now, part of the reason why he's

764
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 3: seeing those contested catches is he's not separating at a

765
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:26,400
Speaker 3: high clip, but at the same time, they're giving him

766
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:29,480
Speaker 3: a high dose of the back shoulders and the comebacks

767
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:31,239
Speaker 3: and you know where there's gonna be a little more

768
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:33,719
Speaker 3: of a crowd at the catch point, and he's because

769
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:35,279
Speaker 3: they know he can. He can come away with the

770
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 3: high percentage of those catches. So you know, if you're

771
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:40,840
Speaker 3: watching Rutgers, check out Ian Strong. Like I said, I

772
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 3: think the best contested catch receiver in the country and

773
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 3: someone who's helping himself moving up a little bit.

774
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:47,880
Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, let me just say just say I was

775
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:50,439
Speaker 6: going to put Strong in the spot, but since John

776
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:53,439
Speaker 6: wanted us to talk about players that are playing better

777
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:55,920
Speaker 6: than we had him graded. I actually had Strong graded

778
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:57,880
Speaker 6: as a third round pick coming into the season. I

779
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:00,320
Speaker 6: thought so highly of them off the two thousand twenty

780
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 6: four tape, and you're right. I mean, he is a

781
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 6: bigger contested catch guy. If you watch that Iowa game,

782
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 6: he made a catch I believe, late in the second

783
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:12,319
Speaker 6: half down the left hand sideline, which was just spectacular.

784
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 6: It's spectacular, But he's not a fast guy. He's gonna

785
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:16,840
Speaker 6: be a great red zone threat as he has been

786
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 6: at Rutgers. He'll be a great red zone threat on Sunday.

787
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:19,479
Speaker 1: Yeah.

788
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:22,759
Speaker 2: Really good possession outside X type of receiver. I mean,

789
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 2: they run so many of those little like twelve yard

790
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:26,319
Speaker 2: outs to him where he just breaks off on the

791
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:28,280
Speaker 2: corner and catches this ball near the sideline.

792
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 1: Good good player. All right.

793
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:31,880
Speaker 2: For the offensive line, guys, we got a couple of

794
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 2: universities heres no more for their academics than their football.

795
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:38,960
Speaker 2: We'll start with you, Dane Northwestern. Caleb Tiernan tell us

796
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:39,840
Speaker 2: about left tackle.

797
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he came into this season with mostly

798
00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:47,440
Speaker 3: you know, later round grades, fifth round, six round grades.

799
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:50,720
Speaker 3: But the left tackle man, he's looked a lot better

800
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 3: on tape this year than I think those projections would indicate.

801
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 3: Six seven and a half three and twenty pounds, a

802
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:59,080
Speaker 3: bigger guy, thirty three and a half inch arms. You

803
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:01,359
Speaker 3: put on the Oregon tape and you see a very

804
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 3: controlled player both in pass pro and in the run game.

805
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:07,799
Speaker 3: He's very efficient with his movements and it really makes

806
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:09,719
Speaker 3: it tough for rushers to get around him.

807
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 4: So I like his angles in the run game.

808
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 3: He's a little inconsistent in terms of the knee bent

809
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:16,839
Speaker 3: because he is a taller guy. But I'm a lot

810
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 3: more optimistic about tiering in now than I was a

811
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:22,920
Speaker 3: few months ago, really based on that Oregon tape and

812
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:25,879
Speaker 3: what he put on film. So that Northwestern offense, there's

813
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:28,240
Speaker 3: not a lot to get excited about, but Caleb Tiernan

814
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 3: at left tackle, He's going to keep scouts putting that

815
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:32,919
Speaker 3: Northwestern tape on for him.

816
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:37,400
Speaker 5: Do you like him at left tackle?

817
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:39,799
Speaker 6: Because when I liked him coming into the season, I

818
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:42,439
Speaker 6: really haven't watched him this month that much. This year,

819
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:45,880
Speaker 6: I thought college left tackle who's got right tackle skills

820
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:47,719
Speaker 6: probably is gonna have to move to the other side

821
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:48,720
Speaker 6: of the line on Sunday.

822
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:53,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think I had a similar thought based

823
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 3: off of what we saw over the summer. But I

824
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:58,320
Speaker 3: keep going back to the Oregon tape. There was nothing

825
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 3: on that tape this year that said he can't do

826
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:04,319
Speaker 3: it at the next level. So I'm gonna draft him

827
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:07,279
Speaker 3: as maybe being my backup swing tackle. Hoping he can

828
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 3: move in and eventually be a starter for me. So

829
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 3: so far this year, he hasn't put anything on tape

830
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 3: that tells me he can't stay a love tackle, Tony.

831
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 2: You got Brian Parker the second out of Duke. A

832
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 2: right tackle. He kind of has a guard build to

833
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:23,320
Speaker 2: me when I watch him, but definitely effective.

834
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 6: Guard or center. A lot of people think he's gonna

835
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:27,400
Speaker 6: be a real good center for the next level. And

836
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:29,880
Speaker 6: you know what have we seen come out of Duke lately.

837
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:32,360
Speaker 6: A lot of real good offensive linemen, and Parker is

838
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 6: gonna be the next one. As you said, plays right

839
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:38,279
Speaker 6: tackle fundamentally sound, real good knee bend, can slide off

840
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 6: the edge, really good with his hands, play smart football,

841
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 6: good angles and pass protection. He's not a finisher, He's

842
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 6: not a dominant guy. Played well against Illinois, even though

843
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:50,840
Speaker 6: Duke got their rear ends handed to him late in

844
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 6: that game. I thought he held it well against Jackas

845
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 6: a lot of people.

846
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 5: In the scouting community are high on him. Again.

847
00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:01,240
Speaker 6: I watched him in the in the in the summer

848
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 6: from last year's film, maybe fifth round. He's getting better.

849
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:08,400
Speaker 6: He's getting potential Day two grades. But as you said,

850
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:10,880
Speaker 6: you know he's gonna guard build. I have him on

851
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 6: my guardboard. There are a lot of people think that

852
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 6: he's gonna move to center on Sunday.

853
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:16,480
Speaker 2: Dan, what do you think he's gonna stay out of

854
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:17,880
Speaker 2: tackle or is he gonna move inside?

855
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 3: You know, I think he's an interior player and I

856
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 3: think that it there. There definitely were some hiccups on

857
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:26,759
Speaker 3: that Illinois tape, but you see why scouts are high

858
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:28,400
Speaker 3: in this player. I mean he to me, he is

859
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:30,239
Speaker 3: going to be a Day two player if he comes out,

860
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:33,400
Speaker 3: because he I believe he's an underclassman, right, so he

861
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:36,359
Speaker 3: has a decision to make after the year. But if

862
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:39,120
Speaker 3: he continues to play at this level, I mean, he's

863
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 3: not Graham Barton. Graham Barton was an easy first round

864
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 3: guy moving from left tackle at a center. Like we

865
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:46,920
Speaker 3: knew he Graham Barton was gonna go high. I don't

866
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 3: think Perker's on that level. But to me, he looks

867
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 3: like a guy with starting potential in the NFL, and

868
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 3: that's why I think ultimately he'll be a top one

869
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:54,239
Speaker 3: hundred pick.

870
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 2: All right, let's go now over to the defensive line guys,

871
00:39:57,560 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 2: and Dane, you kind of talked a little bit about

872
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:02,480
Speaker 2: this when we talked about the Mammi Florida game, And

873
00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:05,080
Speaker 2: you're right, Rubin Bain, who I love watching in the offseason.

874
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 2: He has met expectations and kind of flew past them.

875
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 2: He talked about the guy that could end up being

876
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 2: coming a top ten pick if he continues along this route.

877
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:13,440
Speaker 1: I think he's one of them.

878
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:16,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I purposely, yeah, try not to talk too

879
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:18,360
Speaker 3: much about Bain to talk about him here, because he

880
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:20,319
Speaker 3: was a tough guy for me to figure out over

881
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:22,879
Speaker 3: the summer. His twenty twenty four tape did not say

882
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 3: first round playing it simple. It was very inconsistent, but

883
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:28,319
Speaker 3: it was tough to figure out how much of it

884
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:31,400
Speaker 3: was injury related, how much of it was just you know,

885
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 3: he was having a tough time taking his game to

886
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:37,360
Speaker 3: that next level. But he's been the best defensive prospect

887
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:39,839
Speaker 3: that I have studied so far. In twenty twenty five

888
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:44,040
Speaker 3: full stop six three, two seventy five power packed. He's

889
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:45,880
Speaker 3: gonna win at the point of attack. His hands are

890
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:48,880
Speaker 3: like sticks of dynamite. He is so heavy at the

891
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:52,239
Speaker 3: point of attack. But he also has that burst off

892
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:54,919
Speaker 3: the ball, and that really stands out. He explodes off

893
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:57,960
Speaker 3: the edge He looks like more of a smaller player

894
00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 3: with the way he does flies out of a stance

895
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:02,880
Speaker 3: and then he can rush low, he can dip around

896
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 3: the corner. He doesn't sacrifice that cornering speed at all.

897
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:09,840
Speaker 3: Right now, number two in the FBS and pressures with

898
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:12,960
Speaker 3: twenty two. Like I mentioned, the run defense is elite.

899
00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:16,759
Speaker 3: And he's just a guy that makes his presence felt

900
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 3: every single play, every single series. So he has looked

901
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:24,040
Speaker 3: every bit the part of a top ten pick so

902
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 3: far this year. And I couldn't confidently say that based

903
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:28,440
Speaker 3: on his twenty twenty four tape.

904
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:31,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, Key Mesidor's teammates also playing welcoming back from injury.

905
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:37,000
Speaker 6: I went with the Anthony Smith of Minnesota. I like

906
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:40,719
Speaker 6: I like Main, but Smith, in my opinion, brings more versatility.

907
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 6: He goes about six foot five, He's probably gonna be

908
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:45,959
Speaker 6: about twenty and seventy five pounds. Four tackles for lost,

909
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 6: three sacks on a Minnesota defense that lines up at

910
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 6: three to four. You watch him, He's incredibly athletic for

911
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:55,560
Speaker 6: a big man. He moves incredibly well, uses his hands well,

912
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:58,800
Speaker 6: plays with great paend level and leverage, moves around the field,

913
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:01,520
Speaker 6: can get out in the space and pursue the play

914
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:05,600
Speaker 6: can overwhelm opponents. I like him now, but I think

915
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 6: his upside is tremendous. Anthony Smith, I have him greted

916
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:12,640
Speaker 6: as a Day two pick. Better he plays, the higher

917
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:14,520
Speaker 6: he'll move up with draft boards. And I think he's

918
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:16,640
Speaker 6: one of these guys that is very good right now.

919
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:19,759
Speaker 6: With proper development and good coaching, can be just a

920
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:23,680
Speaker 6: knockout NFL defensive lineman as either an end in a

921
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:26,800
Speaker 6: foreman front, an and in a three man front. Maybe

922
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:28,800
Speaker 6: use him as an undersized defensive tackle.

923
00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:31,440
Speaker 1: And Dan Dave Tony and I have talked about this.

924
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:34,080
Speaker 2: You know, we've had good edge rush classes before, but

925
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:35,719
Speaker 2: usually got a bunch of these like two hundred and

926
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:37,880
Speaker 2: forty nine, two hundred and fifty pounds, two hundred and

927
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 2: thirty pound guys. You just mentioned a Bing's two seventy five,

928
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 2: Smith's to eighty five. We got a bunch of like

929
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:47,440
Speaker 2: old school Bill Belichick style edge players in this class.

930
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:50,040
Speaker 2: That for coaches that want that type of edge player,

931
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:51,920
Speaker 2: they're going to have a choice of a lot of

932
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:53,359
Speaker 2: good players in this class.

933
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:57,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, Kendrick Foalks two seventy plus, I mean Zion Young

934
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 3: is up there. T Overton is a two hundred and

935
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:04,560
Speaker 3: seventy five pounder. Yeah, and Anthony Smith, I mean I

936
00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 3: gave him a third round grade coming into this year,

937
00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:10,000
Speaker 3: and I have not put a monitor microscope yet just

938
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:11,160
Speaker 3: because of you.

939
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:12,799
Speaker 4: Know, Northwestern State Buffalo.

940
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:16,840
Speaker 3: I'm kind of waiting to see against a better opponent.

941
00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:18,799
Speaker 4: But there's a lot to like with the player with

942
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 4: the size, his ability.

943
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 3: I mean, I cannot wait to see once Minnesota gets

944
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 3: more into the Big ten schedule to see if he

945
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:26,760
Speaker 3: can hold up and still make this type of impact.

946
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 3: Because if he can, yeah, that that stock is going

947
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:29,879
Speaker 3: to skyrocket.

948
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:33,640
Speaker 2: All right, Tony, Let's go over to a player that

949
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:35,920
Speaker 2: we talked a lot about the last couple of years

950
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:37,400
Speaker 2: and we didn't know what he was going to be

951
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:40,600
Speaker 2: coming back from injury. But man, Harold Perkins looks like

952
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:43,440
Speaker 2: his old dominant self. I still think there's still questions

953
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:44,880
Speaker 2: in terms of where he's going to fit in when

954
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:46,480
Speaker 2: he eventually gets to the pros. And Dan, I want

955
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:49,120
Speaker 2: to get your take on that too, But Perkins has

956
00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:51,160
Speaker 2: looked great and I'm really happy for the player after

957
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:52,359
Speaker 2: that bad injury last year.

958
00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 5: I think he looks better.

959
00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:56,160
Speaker 6: I mean, you know he does are a great stats

960
00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:58,920
Speaker 6: one sack, four pass breakups, two tackles for us. But

961
00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:01,799
Speaker 6: he's a force and tell the opponent's game planning around him.

962
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:04,439
Speaker 6: And I like the way that they use him all

963
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:07,879
Speaker 6: over the field. I think people are going to mistakenly

964
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:10,800
Speaker 6: pigeonhole him as an EDG rusher as we get closer

965
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:12,799
Speaker 6: to the drift, and he's not an ed rusher. Yeah

966
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:15,000
Speaker 6: he can rush the passer, Yeah he can bring some

967
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:17,719
Speaker 6: force on the blitz, but you can also use him

968
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:20,319
Speaker 6: in space and he's terrific. You can also use him

969
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:23,640
Speaker 6: in pursuit and he goes sideline to sideline, you know,

970
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:26,279
Speaker 6: a snap of the fingers making plays. I just like

971
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:29,280
Speaker 6: his overall game. I agree with you about the size.

972
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:33,200
Speaker 6: I mean, what is he going to be six five pounds,

973
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:38,000
Speaker 6: But we've seen that sort of move towards smaller defenders

974
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:40,320
Speaker 6: are okay because you can use them in a variety

975
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:42,920
Speaker 6: of roles. You know, I know where he was as

976
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:46,000
Speaker 6: a freshman, I know where he was after the injury

977
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:49,760
Speaker 6: and the way he's rebounded, and I feel just improve

978
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:53,160
Speaker 6: his play is why I didn't I didn't think I

979
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:57,280
Speaker 6: would get this much from Harold Perkins. Junior this early

980
00:44:57,360 --> 00:44:59,640
Speaker 6: in the season, based off of the injury from a

981
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:00,000
Speaker 6: year ago.

982
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:02,359
Speaker 2: Dan and I will make sure I record this and

983
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:04,480
Speaker 2: send it over to Hellman so he can listen to you,

984
00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:07,160
Speaker 2: guys wax poetic about Perkins here, who really has done

985
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:07,799
Speaker 2: a nice job.

986
00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:09,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, he has.

987
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:12,120
Speaker 3: And I think part of the issue with Harold Perkins

988
00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:16,040
Speaker 3: has been LSU's plan. You know, they've gone through a

989
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:18,880
Speaker 3: couple defensive coordinators. They weren't sure, okays in the edge rusher,

990
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:22,080
Speaker 3: can we move him inside? And then the injury happened

991
00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:25,839
Speaker 3: the ACL and so there's all this fluctuation coming into

992
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:28,719
Speaker 3: this year. He was finally healthy and they got a

993
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:31,280
Speaker 3: chance to really plug him in at that star position

994
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:33,279
Speaker 3: and keep him there. And it's like, Okay, this is

995
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:36,000
Speaker 3: your defined role. And I think that's that's kind of

996
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:38,759
Speaker 3: the blueprint for NFL teams. They have to have a

997
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:41,239
Speaker 3: defined idea. Okay, this is a role we're going to

998
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:43,719
Speaker 3: have him in. Have to be an outside backer where

999
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:46,200
Speaker 3: on some plays, yeah, he's gonna be a delayed blitzer.

1000
00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:49,200
Speaker 3: On some plays he's gonna drop in space. His closing

1001
00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:52,920
Speaker 3: speed is just remarkable. He flies to the football. You

1002
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:55,000
Speaker 3: want this guy in space because there are times where

1003
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:58,360
Speaker 3: he will when he's coming downhill and if a blocker

1004
00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:00,600
Speaker 3: gets in front of him, it totally engulfs him and

1005
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:02,200
Speaker 3: there's nothing he can do. He doesn't have that type

1006
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:04,200
Speaker 3: of length, that type of play strength where he can

1007
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:07,160
Speaker 3: easily unwind from blocks, but if you keep him in space,

1008
00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:10,240
Speaker 3: he will find the ball carrier, break down and finish.

1009
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:13,520
Speaker 3: So one of the best blitzing linebackers that'll be in

1010
00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:16,120
Speaker 3: this class. The speed really stands out, and I think

1011
00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:18,479
Speaker 3: he's holding up better in coverage so far this year.

1012
00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:20,719
Speaker 3: Then you know, maybe we've saw in the past he

1013
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:23,399
Speaker 3: has a better feel for it, so there's no doubt

1014
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:27,120
Speaker 3: about it. Harold Perkins has helped himself and a guy

1015
00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:30,280
Speaker 3: that was maybe looked at as a fringe top fifty

1016
00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:33,080
Speaker 3: pick coming into the year, he's inching more into that

1017
00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 3: top fifty, maybe even get into the first round type

1018
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:37,200
Speaker 3: of range at this point.

1019
00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:39,880
Speaker 2: You know, Dan, we've talked a lot about your linebacker's teammate,

1020
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:43,360
Speaker 2: Sonny Styles on this show, but Arvel Reese has played

1021
00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:44,840
Speaker 2: really well, and what kind of jumps out to me

1022
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:48,080
Speaker 2: is his length. He's just really long. He doesn't mind

1023
00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:50,960
Speaker 2: taking on look, he'll get overpowered by them sometimes. But

1024
00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:53,359
Speaker 2: even see a linebacker in today's day and age take

1025
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:55,440
Speaker 2: on offensive lineman in the hole and actually try to,

1026
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:57,080
Speaker 2: you know, separate and get off of them.

1027
00:46:57,120 --> 00:46:58,440
Speaker 1: You don't see that much anymore.

1028
00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:00,839
Speaker 2: He just seems like a smart, old, cool linebacker that's

1029
00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:02,840
Speaker 2: played really well.

1030
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:05,840
Speaker 3: When I do my Top fifty in August, I always

1031
00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:08,000
Speaker 3: send it to a few scouts just to get some feedback,

1032
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:10,200
Speaker 3: and one of them sent back, Hey, I think you're

1033
00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:13,040
Speaker 3: right on Styles having them in the twenties. But I'll

1034
00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:15,200
Speaker 3: tell you what, by the end of the year, your

1035
00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:18,200
Speaker 3: top fifty, Arvel Reese will be in there too. Styles

1036
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:20,880
Speaker 3: teammatee Ohio State, and I got it. He was exactly right.

1037
00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:23,080
Speaker 4: The scout nailed it.

1038
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:26,279
Speaker 3: Through three games this year, Reese has been He's at

1039
00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:28,560
Speaker 3: least putting himself in the conversation to be the first

1040
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:31,960
Speaker 3: linebacker drafted. It wouldn't be crazy if Ohio State had

1041
00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:34,840
Speaker 3: the first two linebackers drafted with him and Sunny Styles.

1042
00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:35,880
Speaker 4: And I think in a.

1043
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:38,400
Speaker 3: Lot of ways, it's when you look at this defense

1044
00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:42,520
Speaker 3: for the buck guys Matt Patricia takes over. The linebackers

1045
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:44,520
Speaker 3: are the key to that type of style of defense

1046
00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:46,440
Speaker 3: that he wants to play. You go back in time,

1047
00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:49,319
Speaker 3: you see New England Dante Hyde Tower, the way they

1048
00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:52,919
Speaker 3: utilize Kyle van Noy. The corners are going to cover

1049
00:47:53,239 --> 00:47:55,560
Speaker 3: the defensive linemen. They're going to win in the trenches,

1050
00:47:55,960 --> 00:48:00,400
Speaker 3: but it's the linebackers that can be really weaponized that

1051
00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 3: scheme so far, that's exactly what we've seen from Reese, especially,

1052
00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:06,680
Speaker 3: go back to that opener against Texas, different types of

1053
00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:09,520
Speaker 3: blitzes asking him to cover out of the backfield. This

1054
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:12,000
Speaker 3: guy is six y four, two hundred and forty pounds

1055
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:15,279
Speaker 3: long as heck, like you mentioned, and so you see

1056
00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:17,680
Speaker 3: him with the power where he can jar blockers off

1057
00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:21,600
Speaker 3: the spot. He's got ben flexibility closing speed where he's

1058
00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:24,360
Speaker 3: going to chase down the ball. It's just he looks

1059
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:26,520
Speaker 3: like a much smaller athlete, but he plays like a

1060
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:29,279
Speaker 3: much bigger athlete. And it's it's gonna be really fun

1061
00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:32,240
Speaker 3: to watch him in styles the rest of the season.

1062
00:48:32,280 --> 00:48:35,480
Speaker 3: Two guys that are legit six' four over two hundred

1063
00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:38,480
Speaker 3: and forty, pounds and it's just a rare combination to

1064
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:40,799
Speaker 3: have in college. Football and SO i think scouts are

1065
00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:43,360
Speaker 3: obviously they're always excited to Watch Ohio state, guys but

1066
00:48:43,640 --> 00:48:44,879
Speaker 3: even more so with these two.

1067
00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:45,200
Speaker 1: GUYS a.

1068
00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:48,520

1071
00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:55,480

00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:58,239
Speaker 6: year it Was Cody simon who really courted back that.

1073

Speaker 2: the two monster.

1085
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:28,480
Speaker 1: Games we'll get out of.

1086
00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:30,520
Speaker 2: HERE i appreciate all the time both of you at

1087
00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:33,040
Speaker 2: the SAME. dB we've talked about him Before, Tony So

1088
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:36,560
Speaker 2: i'll Let dain take the lead on. This Mansor, delane

1089
00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:40,120
Speaker 2: who you, know he's a transfer, again just another guy

1090
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:42,200
Speaker 2: who's very Long, dan which allows him to kind of

1091
00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:44,319
Speaker 2: play through receivers to get after the. Football he's been

1092
00:49:44,360 --> 00:49:45,520
Speaker 2: a revelation for LSU's.

1093
00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:48,120
Speaker 4: Defense and you, know it's.

1094
00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:50,680
Speaker 3: Funny at this time last, year he had made My

1095
00:49:50,719 --> 00:49:54,080
Speaker 3: top fifty At Virginia tech going into his junior, season

1096
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:56,920
Speaker 3: and so there was a lot of excitement for what

1097
00:49:56,960 --> 00:49:58,359
Speaker 3: he could do last, year and he had an okay

1098
00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:02,200
Speaker 3: season For Virginia. TECH i think at four picks he

1099
00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:04,640
Speaker 3: was close to coming out and the to THE Nfl. Draft,

1100
00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:09,080
Speaker 3: instead he decided to transfer goes TO, lsu AND i

1101
00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:12,560
Speaker 3: think so for those that really focused on the physical

1102
00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:15,640
Speaker 3: traits for the, position which at corner a lot of people,

1103
00:50:15,680 --> 00:50:18,400
Speaker 3: DO i think you're gonna be a little underwhelmed With

1104
00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:21,520
Speaker 3: delaane because he's five, eleven one. Ninety he actually he

1105
00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:25,400
Speaker 3: has shorter. Arms his arms, rarely, yeah they're right around thirty,

1106
00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:29,680
Speaker 3: Inches so for a court they're not like shockingly small

1107
00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:32,200
Speaker 3: under thirty, inches but they're like thirty and. EIGHTH i

1108
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:34,720
Speaker 3: think at least that's what he was over the spring

1109
00:50:35,160 --> 00:50:37,839
Speaker 3: and the speed is PROBABLY i don't, know four four,

1110
00:50:37,920 --> 00:50:40,560
Speaker 3: six four four seven like, good, fine but.

1111
00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:41,640
Speaker 4: Not for three not.

1112
00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:44,279
Speaker 3: Elite that what you know teams really look for at

1113
00:50:44,320 --> 00:50:47,600
Speaker 3: the corner. Position BUT i want to get that out

1114
00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:50,640
Speaker 3: of the way to say that this guy what really.

1115
00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:52,320
Speaker 4: Sets him apart how smart he is in.

1116
00:50:52,440 --> 00:50:56,200
Speaker 3: Coverage you rarely see him panicked or surprised because of

1117
00:50:56,239 --> 00:50:59,200
Speaker 3: his ability to read route. Concepts he knows what the

1118
00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:01,120
Speaker 3: offense is trying to. Do he stays on top of.

1119
00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:04,040
Speaker 3: Receivers he's really good in. Zone he can hold up in.

1120
00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:07,239
Speaker 3: Man you watch The clemson, tape The florida, Tape it

1121
00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:11,160
Speaker 3: just both those tapes he was outstanding in. Coverage he shows.

1122
00:51:11,239 --> 00:51:13,560
Speaker 3: Up he's physical in the run. Game so IF i

1123
00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:16,040
Speaker 3: had to do a top fifty, tomorrow there's just no

1124
00:51:16,120 --> 00:51:19,280
Speaker 3: WAY i could leave him, out even though the physical

1125
00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:20,640
Speaker 3: traits are more good than.

1126
00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:23,760
Speaker 6: Great you, Know delane's a guy who as a Sophomore

1127
00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:26,120
Speaker 6: Virginia tech really caught my. Eye AND i think last

1128
00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:28,560
Speaker 6: year he didn't have a great year because they really

1129
00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:31,600
Speaker 6: weren't challenging too. Much And Virginia tech a year ago

1130
00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:33,960
Speaker 6: had a real good cornerback by the name Of Dorrigan

1131
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:36,680
Speaker 6: strong who was a sixth round, pick but quarterbacks seem

1132
00:51:36,719 --> 00:51:38,880
Speaker 6: to stay away from. HIM i agree with. YOU i

1133
00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:41,640
Speaker 6: talked to, him talked about the lane to people to

1134
00:51:41,640 --> 00:51:43,200
Speaker 6: see your. Ball they're, like, well.

1135
00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:43,680
Speaker 5: The speeds are.

1136
00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:45,880
Speaker 6: Concerned the speeds are. Concerned and AS i said To,

1137
00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:48,200
Speaker 6: john we've talked about the, show you don't see that

1138
00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:51,759
Speaker 6: concern on. Film and just to What dane said about,

1139
00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:53,719
Speaker 6: him you, know being able to play in zone or.

1140
00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:56,560
Speaker 6: Man he's terrific making plays with his back to the.

1141
00:51:56,560 --> 00:52:00,560
Speaker 6: Ball you see him in zone sometimes coming off assignments

1142
00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:02,839
Speaker 6: to help out because he knows where the ball is gonna.

1143
00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:07,120
Speaker 6: Be you, know don't expect great testing, numbers but he's

1144
00:52:07,160 --> 00:52:11,920
Speaker 6: an outstanding cornerback and outstanding defensive back who really does

1145
00:52:11,960 --> 00:52:14,000
Speaker 6: a great job making plays with his back to the.

1146
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:18,120
Speaker 6: Ball and that is key because we see oftentimes these,

1147
00:52:18,160 --> 00:52:22,879
Speaker 6: bigger the, speedier these athletic cornerbacks in college who never

1148
00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:26,000
Speaker 6: get their head back around play the receiver's, hands do

1149
00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:29,560
Speaker 6: too much, faceguarding and that'll lead to. Ruin delane's got

1150
00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:31,200
Speaker 6: that that part of the game already figured.

1151
00:52:31,239 --> 00:52:33,280

00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:47,719
Speaker 3: ME i CANNOT i instead of MATERIAL i almost Said

1180
00:53:47,760 --> 00:53:51,160
Speaker 3: Dante moore for our you know who is. Impressed And

1181
00:53:51,320 --> 00:53:53,600
Speaker 3: moore has been terrific this. Year he's completing seventy five

1182
00:53:53,600 --> 00:53:58,120
Speaker 3: percent of his, passes eleven, touchdowns one, interception several big play.

1183
00:53:58,120 --> 00:54:00,680
Speaker 3: Throws he looks like a FUTURE nfl. Starter this will

1184
00:54:00,719 --> 00:54:04,880
Speaker 3: be his first real legit test against the respectable defense

1185
00:54:05,080 --> 00:54:07,200
Speaker 3: plus us on the road in a really tough. Environment

1186
00:54:07,239 --> 00:54:11,239
Speaker 3: so how Does Dante moore handle? That Kenyon sidik hit tight?

1187
00:54:11,360 --> 00:54:14,080
Speaker 3: End he's been my tight end one since the start

1188
00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:17,520
Speaker 3: top twenty. Pick he as a as a, blocker what

1189
00:54:17,600 --> 00:54:20,560
Speaker 3: he does in the passing, GAME i Think sadiq is

1190
00:54:20,560 --> 00:54:22,319
Speaker 3: a true difference. Maker SO i want to see that

1191
00:54:22,400 --> 00:54:25,480
Speaker 3: more sidiq, connection see what they can do in this,

1192
00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:30,120
Speaker 3: one and then you, KNOW i think with the both left,

1193
00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:32,920
Speaker 3: tackles really you, know both these, quarterbacks is a big

1194
00:54:32,920 --> 00:54:35,960
Speaker 3: one for them but also both left, Tackles Drew shelton

1195
00:54:36,080 --> 00:54:39,560
Speaker 3: And Isaiah. World you see the, traits you see the.

1196
00:54:39,600 --> 00:54:43,080
Speaker 3: ABILITY i need more consistency for both these guys because

1197
00:54:43,120 --> 00:54:45,640
Speaker 3: you see why they're both getting. Love you see the,

1198
00:54:45,719 --> 00:54:50,600
Speaker 3: talent but they're both in terms of technical, consistency they

1199
00:54:50,640 --> 00:54:52,080
Speaker 3: need to be. Better if you're going to be a

1200
00:54:52,120 --> 00:54:54,080
Speaker 3: first round, pick if you're going to be a top twenty.

1201
00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:55,160
Speaker 4: Five, guy you need to be.

1202
00:54:55,200 --> 00:54:59,200
Speaker 3: Better and this will be a great test for both those.

1203
00:54:59,239 --> 00:55:03,240
Speaker 3: Guys when you talk About Ui gaily and Then Danny

1204
00:55:03,239 --> 00:55:06,680
Speaker 3: Dennis sutton For Penn, State so, yeah THERE'S i, mean

1205
00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:09,160
Speaker 3: we could talk for hours on the prospects in this,

1206
00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:11,879
Speaker 3: game but the quarterbacks and the left, TACKLES i think

1207
00:55:11,920 --> 00:55:14,680
Speaker 3: this is a big matchup for those. Guys in terms

1208
00:55:14,680 --> 00:55:17,520
Speaker 3: of this is a tape every SINGLE nfl team is gonna.

1209
00:55:17,560 --> 00:55:18,879
Speaker 4: Launch there's gonna be a lot OF.

1210
00:55:18,880 --> 00:55:22,279
Speaker 3: Nfl personnel in actually in person to watch this. One

1211
00:55:22,440 --> 00:55:24,640
Speaker 3: but then EVERY nfl team's gonna WATCH us. Tape so

1212
00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:26,800
Speaker 3: this is kind of a chance to make your, statement

1213
00:55:27,040 --> 00:55:28,879
Speaker 3: AND i think it's a big opportunity for all those.

1214
00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:31,680
Speaker 6: Guys And, john you know you talked about bigger defensive

1215
00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:33,840
Speaker 6: ENDS i am a big fan Of Dennis Danny, SUTTON

1216
00:55:33,840 --> 00:55:35,320
Speaker 6: i always. HAVE i know he took a backseat to

1217
00:55:35,400 --> 00:55:38,720
Speaker 6: abdual quarter six five and a half two hundred and seventy,

1218
00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:43,040
Speaker 6: pounds a legit high for six low four. Seven guy

1219
00:55:43,480 --> 00:55:47,000
Speaker 6: really stood out in the playoffs. Win Bill carter struggled

1220
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:49,360
Speaker 6: with that shoulder injury last. Year so, yeah to that,

1221
00:55:49,400 --> 00:55:53,200
Speaker 6: point that's another match. Up my, Opinion Dennis Setton sutton

1222
00:55:53,280 --> 00:55:56,120
Speaker 6: just does not get the love he deserves outside the scouting.

1223
00:55:56,160 --> 00:55:58,839
Speaker 2: Community AND i got to imagine That oregent is sitting, there,

1224
00:55:58,880 --> 00:56:00,920
Speaker 2: like why are we six and stats? Three have you

1225
00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:03,000
Speaker 2: not watched us just destroy? People i'm sure they gonna

1226
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:04,680
Speaker 2: go into that building with a bit of a chip

1227
00:56:04,680 --> 00:56:06,880
Speaker 2: on their. Shoulder And i'm a little. Disappointed And i'm

1228
00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:09,440
Speaker 2: SURE nfl scouts are. Too and a bunch of nflgms were, like,

1229
00:56:09,640 --> 00:56:12,440
Speaker 2: well MAYBE i can you, know Good Alabama georgia at

1230
00:56:12,480 --> 00:56:15,040
Speaker 2: noon and THEN i can get up AND i can

1231
00:56:15,040 --> 00:56:16,800
Speaker 2: get The Penn state and time to see them play.

1232
00:56:16,719 --> 00:56:17,239
Speaker 4: Are at the same.

1233
00:56:17,280 --> 00:56:20,000
Speaker 1: Time that's What i'm. Saying what is that seven thirty

1234
00:56:20,040 --> 00:56:21,719
Speaker 1: for both? Games what do we do with? Here?
