We just 32 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 1: want to get a little bonus episode for everybody at home. Here. 33 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 1: We're gonna go through these quarterbacks, these playoff quarterbacks, have 34 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 1: fun draft him a f C and then NFC, how 35 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,400 Speaker 1: we would we would take them off the board here 36 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 1: and who we like? Um, I want to do the 37 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 1: quarterback situation. It's not being talked about, which I want 38 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 1: to touch on it just a little bit. We'll touch 39 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 1: on the draft and then uh, and then we'll kind 40 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 1: of go over our title game predictions for for Clemson Alabama. 41 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 1: But Bucky, let's uh, let's jump in here. On the 42 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 1: on the a f C. I thought we do just 43 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 1: kind of ping pong back and forth, uh, and just 44 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 1: kind of have a draft. And let's say, Uh, I'm 45 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,239 Speaker 1: trying to think of a nice friendly thing we could 46 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,399 Speaker 1: do here. We have good soup at NFL Network. So 47 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,079 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say a soup on if one of us 48 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: ends up with both quarterbacks that we've drafted this little 49 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 1: draft here in the Super Bowl, Um, you gotta you 50 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,800 Speaker 1: gotta purchase a soup here for for the other guy. Okay, 51 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: loves the soup. All right, let's go a FC quarterbacks. 52 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 1: So we've got guys that are playing now. We're you know, 53 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,359 Speaker 1: got some injuries. So we've got Connor Cook, We've got 54 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: brockoswhilet We've got Matt Moore, Big Bend, Tom Brady, and 55 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 1: Alex Smith. I think I know where you're going here, 56 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 1: but I'm gonna give you the first pick in the 57 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 1: a f C quarterback group. Here. Who do you got? 58 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm gonna go to the most experienced quarterback there. 59 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to Tom Brady thirty one playoff starts. 60 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 1: You've seen what he's being able to do. We need 61 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: to have his his weapons or not he's able to get 62 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,360 Speaker 1: his team to the winner circle. So I'm gonna take 63 00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 1: Tom Brady. It's an easy choice. Um, I mean, I mean, 64 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 1: I can go on and but it's gonna need to 65 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 1: drist up his resume. We know way he is. How 66 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,800 Speaker 1: about how about the good fortune for Tom Brady? By 67 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 1: the way, when you look at this list of back 68 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,679 Speaker 1: at a lot of backup quarterbacks, he's got a chance 69 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 1: to run into. And then you look at all the 70 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the NFC, which we'll get to a little 71 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: different caliber there. All right, you a Brady the first pick. Again, 72 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 1: that's a no brainer. But I come back with a 73 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 1: no brainer, and that's Big Ben. Uh. You know he's 74 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 1: gonna have to He's gonna have to eventually go on 75 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 1: the road up to Foxborough. But you know, Big Ben 76 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,080 Speaker 1: been around a lot of success, big game environments. He 77 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 1: plays his best. That's gonna come down to their defense. 78 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 1: I think I do believe that the Steeler's offense is 79 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: gonna score on everybody they play against. If this young 80 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: secondary plays well, I think they've they've got a shot 81 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: up there in New England. I don't not saying I 82 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: picked him, but I think they got a shot. I'll 83 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: take him with my first pick. Who you got next, Okay, 84 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to Alex Smith. I'm gonna go to 85 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 1: Alex Smith in Kansas City Chiefs because of all the 86 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: teams that I think can beat New England, Alex Smith 87 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 1: can do it because it's supporting cast will allow him 88 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: to do so. Do so. Uh Tyree Kield on the 89 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 1: outside at his explosive playmaker that can score from anyone 90 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 1: on the field. Chevis Kelsey is playing like the best 91 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 1: hiding in football. Then on defense, they can hold the 92 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 1: score down. And as much as you want to think 93 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 1: that it's gonna be a shootout in the NFC Championship 94 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 1: game if Kansas City plays them, I think they can 95 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 1: hold the score down just enough to have Alex here 96 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 1: some opportunities makes plays down the field. All right, Bucky, 97 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: I don't think that's I don't think that's a surprise. 98 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,280 Speaker 1: That's a good pick by you. I would have gone 99 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,280 Speaker 1: in the same direction there with Alex Smith. So I've 100 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,479 Speaker 1: got I've got three to choose from here. I've got More, 101 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,719 Speaker 1: Osweiler and cook Um. I think More is probably the 102 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 1: most talented, but already picked Big Ben. So they played 103 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 1: each other around one. I could take more guarantees that 104 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 1: I get one guy onto the second round of the playoffs. Um, 105 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 1: but you know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna I'm 106 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 1: gonna roll the dice, and I'm gonna go with a 107 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:52,600 Speaker 1: guy much maligned quarterback brock Oswidler, because Buck, I think 108 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 1: he's got a chance with the defense that they have, 109 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 1: if they can get cranked up with Romeo Cornell, I 110 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 1: think he's got a chance to to advance here. I 111 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 1: know he hasn't played well, but this is gonna be 112 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 1: the Mr is gonna be the brock Oswiler Disney movie, 113 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 1: how He's benched comes back from the dead and goes 114 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:12,160 Speaker 1: on a postseason run. Uh. You know, you know, DJ, 115 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,479 Speaker 1: if this was draft day and they had kind of like, 116 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,359 Speaker 1: you know, they had the camera in the war room 117 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,159 Speaker 1: when you made that pick, you would see like all 118 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 1: kinds of fifth pumps and people jumping around because our 119 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 1: guy is still on the board. So the guy that 120 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: I would say mondays is Connor Cook from the Oakland Races. 121 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 1: And I know it's gonna surprise some people, but I 122 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 1: actually think that the Raiders were given a break by 123 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 1: faith by having Matt mcloy suffering injury. I feel like 124 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 1: the game was too big for Matt mcloy. I don't 125 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 1: think he could have been a guy that led open 126 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 1: on the postseason run. But I do believe Connor Cook 127 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 1: can do it. And I know he hasn't started a game. 128 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,719 Speaker 1: He's only the fourth in NFL history to not start 129 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,279 Speaker 1: a read this season game, but the start in the playoffs. 130 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,479 Speaker 1: But I like his experience. He was four and winning 131 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 1: postseason games at Michigan State, won thirty or four games 132 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 1: during this time of Michigan stake, and even though he 133 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,840 Speaker 1: has some accuracy issues, I've always believed that he could 134 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 1: be a guy that could be a solid quarterback. Went 135 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 1: surrounded by Stella supporting cast. He's got a full week 136 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 1: of practice. You understand what he has around him. In 137 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 1: a Marie coup of Michael Craft, you, Tavis Murray, some 138 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,160 Speaker 1: of the other poets. I believe kind of coulde gets 139 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 1: to win this week, and I think he has a 140 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 1: pretty good performance. I'm in the bank on him as 141 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 1: my next pick. All that's I like that because that 142 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 1: leaves him with more. I was thinking about taking more 143 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 1: with my last round, so I get him now. So 144 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 1: at least I'm guaranteed to get somebody moving on to 145 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,040 Speaker 1: the next round because I've got more and Big Ben 146 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 1: Um I ain't more big strong kid. He's got a 147 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 1: live arm um and he's got some weapons Sue to 148 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,359 Speaker 1: work with now. And you talk about Jarvis Landry Davante 149 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 1: Parker and he's still they do some guys that can 150 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 1: push the ball down the field too, So I'll go him. 151 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 1: So to recap a FC, your lottery tickets are. Oh, look, 152 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 1: you're You're in pretty good shape there with Tom and 153 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,840 Speaker 1: all through all through my gas.

I'll tell you what 169 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 1: you're gonna like this pick for me first one because 170 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 1: I believe you picked him to lose in the first 171 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 1: round and he's gonna be my first pick. I'm going 172 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. Oh wow. Um. I mean I like the 173 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: pick because I like the player. I mean, the play 174 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 1: is playing an m v P level. He's closing out. 175 00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 1: I can certainly see you taking the hot hand going 176 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 1: with and Rodgers. That offenses. I mean, it's been like 177 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 1: a house on fire. I just worry about their inability 178 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 1: to run the ball and can they continue to allow 179 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 1: on him to continue to make play after play on 180 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 1: scrambles and tosses. I like that you took him though, 181 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 1: because they mean my guys on the board and the 182 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 1: guy that I'm take him with. The second, you're going 183 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 1: to Matt Ryan. You're going You're a Matt You are 184 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 1: a Matt Ryan guy. I'm all in. I'm all in, 185 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 1: and the reason I'm all energed because he should be 186 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 1: the m v P let the league and pass the 187 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 1: rate and leave the league in yards passing yards per game. 188 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: He has one of the more prolific offenses in NFL history. 189 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: At as a supposed it was like thirty three point 190 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 1: eight points a game. I know everyone is waiting for 191 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons to collapse, but I think this is 192 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 1: the year when the dirty Birds get it done. I 193 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: think they make a long, extended run in the postseason. 194 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 1: That is my guy, all right? You remember Saved by 195 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 1: the Bell Buck. I do vaguely remember Saved by the Bill. 196 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 1: You know that's not really my thing. Oh come on, man, 197 00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 1: the Lisa Turtle. You don't come on to know. You've 198 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 1: got to know Zach Morris. The name of his band 199 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,839 Speaker 1: was the Zach Attack. And I'm gonna flip it a 200 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:08,559 Speaker 1: little bit. I'm gonna go at the dock Attack here 201 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:10,560 Speaker 1: with my second pick, because he's home. He's got a 202 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 1: great running game, underrated defense, never gonna have to go 203 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 1: on the road, never gonna have to leave the state 204 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 1: of Texas even go to Super Bowl. So I'll go 205 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 1: ahead and take Dak Prescott with my with my second pick. 206 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 1: I'm loving where I'm at right now with Rogers and Prescott. 207 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,719 Speaker 1: I mean, I mean you you're absolutely in a nice 208 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 1: position because I think Dallas is for this is nicely. 209 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 1: We will see if the pressure gets to Deck, if 210 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 1: he continued to play at the level that he's played at, 211 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 1: He's played at the historic level. You can say that 212 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,720 Speaker 1: no Ricky quarterback has ever played at that level before. 213 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 1: So I like that pick, but I'm gonna go with 214 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 1: another guy who kind of has similar success to Deck 215 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 1: right out of the the game. I'm going to Russell Wilson. 216 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 1: A lot of confidence in Russell Wilson because we've seen 217 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:51,200 Speaker 1: him do it before. Every playoff or every postseason that 218 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,839 Speaker 1: he's been in, his team has won at least one game. 219 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,559 Speaker 1: I'm a bank on him being able to continue to 220 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 1: continue this Threek. They played Detroit, but if it at 221 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,960 Speaker 1: their house. He has a connection with Jimmy Graham and 222 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,080 Speaker 1: Doug Bowling. They find a way to get it done. 223 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, it's my guy, all right. This is no 224 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 1: This is the toughest decision I've had to make to 225 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 1: the whole thing, because I picked Rodgers in my first pick. 226 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 1: So if I take Eli, I'm kind of you know. Look, 227 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 1: that's I know. I move on out of the first 228 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:22,119 Speaker 1: round with those two guys, but um, I feel confident 229 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,599 Speaker 1: enough then Rogers winning there. I'm this is just like 230 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,479 Speaker 1: a bonus pick for me. I'm gonna take matt Stafford 231 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 1: with my next pick to potentially go on the road 232 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 1: and beat your Russell Wilson let Seahawks. So I picked, 233 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,080 Speaker 1: I picked the hoble to win that game for our picks. 234 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 1: But this gives me just some more give me some 235 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 1: more chances to to get all three guys through here. 236 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go with Stafford over Eli. You know, 237 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford is one of my favorite Prior to him 238 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 1: her in this thing, I thought he was playing the 239 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 1: best football if anybody in a position. I was talking 240 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 1: him as a guy a stud in consideration for the MVP, 241 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 1: but it lost three in a row going to the postseason. 242 00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:01,080 Speaker 1: He hasn't played will since his finger has been banged up. Uh, 243 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 1: I'm okay with you taking him. And look, I don't 244 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,840 Speaker 1: have a lot of confidence in Eli manning down the stretch, 245 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,840 Speaker 1: but I was doing some research and the way that 246 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 1: he closed is similar to the way that he closed 247 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,439 Speaker 1: those three um years they've had extended runs or the 248 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 1: two years they've had Super Bowl winning runs, And so 249 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 1: I must say that Eli can get hot, and I 250 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 1: believe he has the best offensive player in the NFC 251 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 1: in Odell Beckham Jr. If he can just find Odell 252 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,599 Speaker 1: Beckham Jr. Early and often, I think that's enough to 253 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 1: get him there. I think they win in Green Bay 254 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,559 Speaker 1: this weekend, and I think they have the capable of 255 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 1: being a knockoff. Doubts when they faced him again too, Yeah, 256 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 1: you know twice? All right, So recap here your team, 257 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 1: your team of quarterbacks. You've got Tom Brady, Alex Smith, 258 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 1: and Cook. And then on the other side of the 259 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 1: NFC you've got Matt Ryan, Russell, Wilson, and Eli. I've 260 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:57,560 Speaker 1: got in the a f C big Ben Osweiler. Man, 261 00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,960 Speaker 1: I'm not loving my FC big band off while heard more, 262 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,960 Speaker 1: but then I come back strong in the NFC with Rogers, 263 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 1: Dac and Stafford. So well, yeah, let we'll see. Maybe 264 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,080 Speaker 1: one of us gets two guys in the big game here. 265 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,599 Speaker 1: We'll have to wait and find out. But man, it 266 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 1: sure does seem wop site though, NFC versus a FC 267 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 1: in terms of the quarterback talent in the postseason done it. Oh, 268 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 1: it does seem as like if anybody's smiling as Tom 269 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 1: Brady because it seems like they kind of have a clip. 270 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 1: At least it's aping the game and probably the Super Bowl. Um, 271 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 1: we really think about this. I think it's funny with 272 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 1: the quarterbacks who make so much of them. But other things, 273 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 1: they're like four or five teams that are really constructed 274 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 1: to be Super Bowl winners. And the a f C 275 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,199 Speaker 1: I think is New England, Pittsburgh in Kansas City, and 276 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 1: the NFC. I truly believe Atlanta and Dallas other teams 277 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 1: that are best positioned to win it because they're balanced 278 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:47,840 Speaker 1: on offense. They have the ability to run it, they 279 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,439 Speaker 1: can throw it, they can score points. Defensively, they kind 280 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 1: of have those uh played with the league defensive where 281 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:54,959 Speaker 1: they can solve their way with a pass rush and 282 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 1: just enough coverage. Those other teams to meet a little 283 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 1: too one dimensional. I like Bay. I know everyone who 284 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,080 Speaker 1: said they did a hot team, but I just don't 285 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 1: know it's taking sustained with the guys that I had 286 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 1: to put on the perimeter. Yeah, now it's like it's 287 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 1: gonna the The NFC is anybody's gift I think it's 288 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 1: wide open in the NFC. We'll see what happens. All 289 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 1: signs do point to the Patriots there in the a 290 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,840 Speaker 1: f C what potentially maybe Pittsburgh given him a good game. 291 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 1: And uh, you know you talk about Kansas City, I 292 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 1: think they're equipped with their pass rush. Um thinking afrom 293 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 1: I just can't see, man, I just can't see them 294 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 1: generate enough points offensively to beat them. But well, we'll wait, 295 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 1: we'll find out. I want to get to a quarterback situation, 296 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,319 Speaker 1: Bucky that has not been talked about at all. It's 297 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:37,959 Speaker 1: just team up from a conversation I had with a 298 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 1: buddy in the league and he brought this up, and 299 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 1: I kind of poop pooted initially, and then the more 300 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 1: you know one of those deals with the more you 301 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 1: think about it, You're like, this kind of makes sense. Um, 302 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 1: here's the name we don't you know? We talked about 303 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 1: the movement of these quarterbacks. Where is Jake Cutler gonna go? 304 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 1: What's gonna happen with Tony Romo? Where does he go? 305 00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:58,679 Speaker 1: We've mentioned all these teams they're gonna be in the 306 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,680 Speaker 1: market for quarterbacks, right, But the name that was brought 307 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,319 Speaker 1: up to me that was kind of the the un 308 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 1: unspoken name in terms of this upcoming off season was 309 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:11,320 Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick, and he brought up a great point. He said, 310 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:13,560 Speaker 1: you know what, you know, Kaepernick, all the all the 311 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 1: stuff was to take in a knee. Um, you know, 312 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 1: and it's news story and it's something we monitored throughout 313 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 1: the year and everybody has their opinion on it. But 314 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 1: he said, you know, he didn't play terrible this year. 315 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 1: And if you think about it, you know, this is 316 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 1: there that he has all that ability. He's young, he 317 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 1: has that ability. The same ability that came within a 318 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 1: play of winning a Super Bowl is still there. He 319 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 1: still has all those tools and maybe, maybe, just maybe 320 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 1: you have to look at what was around him since 321 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 1: Jim Harbor left. He had Jim tom Sula right, that 322 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 1: was a disaster. Um you look at Chip Kelly one 323 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 1: and done disaster. The roster everybody will admit is terrible. 324 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 1: So did he does that old Colin Kaepernick still exists? 325 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 1: And if it does, if you could get him on 326 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 1: the cheap and the team that that when I was 327 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 1: talking with him, we started you know, bouncing around different 328 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 1: teams that would make sense. And you know, when they 329 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 1: were rolling with San Francisco Bucky, they had what the 330 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 1: number one defense in the league, right, you had the 331 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,160 Speaker 1: number one offensive line in the league. Um, and they 332 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 1: could run the ball. And I started thinking about a 333 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 1: team that's maybe not doing well but has the the 334 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 1: formula there that could work. What if he went to 335 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 1: Chicago where they've invested in the offensive line. You get 336 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,480 Speaker 1: Kyle long Back. Um, They've got some other good young 337 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 1: players in there. H Cody white Hair played really well 338 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 1: this year. You've got a big back the rush for 339 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 1: thirteen yards and Jordan Howard. You've got some pretty good 340 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 1: pieces on defense. With a defensive coach, you've got a 341 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 1: top five pick which you could get us stud to 342 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 1: throw in that mix on the defensive side. Uh Man, 343 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 1: I don't know. I actually I kind of like that fit. 344 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 1: You know that. It's fun as you say that, because 345 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 1: that is one thing that is always in try coach Fox. 346 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 1: During my time Pat Carolina, we were always forced to 347 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 1: have to play with the guy, play against the guy 348 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 1: like Michael Vick down Atlanta, a guy who is athletic 349 00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 1: whould give you problems off this grip, who can make 350 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 1: plays with his legs, but also had a big arm 351 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 1: and it's gonna sound crazy now, but we spent an 352 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 1: entire day. At one point in draft meeting, he's looking 353 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 1: at Matt Jones. Remember Matt Jones came out of Arkansas. 354 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, oh yeah, I remember when you looked 355 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 1: at Matt Jones for an entire day. Because Coach Fox 356 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 1: is fascinated by having an athletic playmaker at his disposal. 357 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 1: It's one of the things that he hasn't had really 358 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 1: with the exception of his time with Tim Tebow. And 359 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 1: if you think about the success that they had in 360 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 1: Denver with Tim Tebow playing the style that Fox he 361 00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 1: likes to play, run it more often, throw it on 362 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 1: the case, and then really lean on your defense. Kaepernick 363 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 1: Wood gives him that ability to have that kind of 364 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 1: quarterback that can manage to turnovers and play that way. 365 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 1: The other thing that I think that will kind of 366 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,800 Speaker 1: speak volumes about kaefer Nick and the way that he, 367 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 1: I mean, maybe perceived differently outside the locker room and inside. 368 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,280 Speaker 1: The fact that he walked away with an honor from 369 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 1: the San Francisco forty nine is in terms of like 370 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 1: leadership and teammate and Teammate of the Year. I think 371 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:09,679 Speaker 1: it says a lot about how he was perceived by 372 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,880 Speaker 1: that team. I think when people do their due diligence 373 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 1: and they look he may be a viable option, as 374 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,160 Speaker 1: you say, at the right dollar amount, because he does 375 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:22,160 Speaker 1: bring kind of a bridge quarterback to a situation where 376 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 1: you can look for young guys to develop while he 377 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 1: is kind of serving as your starter and you still 378 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 1: can make games with him. Yeah. So I mean, look, 379 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,680 Speaker 1: this is I haven't seen you. I don't see anything 380 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 1: on him. No, nobody talks about where he's gonna go 381 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 1: or what's gonna happen with him, And I haven't heard 382 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,480 Speaker 1: anybody throw out throughout specific team. I just when you're 383 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 1: going through the list of teams and it's like, man, 384 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,520 Speaker 1: that actually I think that could work down there, and 385 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 1: your your background in your history with Fox, Um, it's 386 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,439 Speaker 1: pretty interesting. Yeah, I think it is pretty interesting. I 387 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,480 Speaker 1: think there are a couple of quarterbacks, um they're kind 388 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,720 Speaker 1: of I think Tyra Taylor is another guy that could 389 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,879 Speaker 1: kind of fit in that in that mold because Tyra, 390 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,360 Speaker 1: like whether you love him or not, as a franchise quarterback, 391 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,199 Speaker 1: when you look at the numbers and look at when 392 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,480 Speaker 1: he's able to kind of play with the comfort of 393 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 1: a top radio winning game and who he plays with 394 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 1: a solid defense, He's certainly good enough to win games. Um. 395 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,359 Speaker 1: I just believe, especially when people are looking at this 396 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 1: quarterback class and looking at how they could possibly struggle 397 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 1: when they come out, I think more gonna look for 398 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:27,199 Speaker 1: those short term solutions to be able to win games 399 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,399 Speaker 1: with the quarterback, knowing that he's not going to be 400 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,679 Speaker 1: the long term answer at the position. Yeah, no question. 401 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:34,320 Speaker 1: A couple more things you want to get to before 402 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:37,199 Speaker 1: we got to run here. Um Man, I've been just 403 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:40,640 Speaker 1: plowing to this tape right now, all these college kids, 404 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,240 Speaker 1: more and more underclassmen declaring on a daily basis, and 405 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 1: the crazy Hey what you have any guys are coming unbelievable. 406 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:48,560 Speaker 1: I don't know where the number is gonna end up, 407 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,800 Speaker 1: but it seems it sure feels like there's one record 408 00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:53,880 Speaker 1: pace here with all these guys coming out. But man, 409 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:57,119 Speaker 1: I tell you this last year, remember how low do 410 00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:58,879 Speaker 1: we were with defensive tackles and I was one of 411 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 1: the best defensive tea groups you've seen a long time. 412 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:05,240 Speaker 1: There's a million of them this year. Edge rushers, defensive 413 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 1: lineman has a whole secondary. Um, I mean, Bucky issues 414 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 1: a loaded group. I mean it's absolutely loaded if you 415 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,119 Speaker 1: want to build defense. And you always see depends on 416 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 1: the swing um how teams go from me an offense 417 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,240 Speaker 1: and centric the defense or centric. This is a draft 418 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 1: where you certainly can build up your defense. We talked 419 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,600 Speaker 1: about the new way of playing defense is to invest 420 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 1: in your pass rushers and to make sure that you 421 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,879 Speaker 1: have a solid secondary. I believe we talked about it. 422 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,280 Speaker 1: You need to have three guys that can rush off 423 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:35,000 Speaker 1: the edges because you want to be able to rotate. 424 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 1: You also want to be able to get into that 425 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 1: end your NASCAR package where you have three pass rushers 426 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,640 Speaker 1: and a solid inside guy. You want to have cover 427 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,560 Speaker 1: guys that are long, um that can put their hands 428 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 1: on guys in a line of scrimmage, but also make 429 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 1: plays on the ball. And so as you talked about 430 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 1: edge guys who I wrote about it and move six notebook. 431 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 1: I am impressed with the corners, in the amount of 432 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,600 Speaker 1: big corners that potentially are in this class, Guys that 433 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:02,119 Speaker 1: are six ft of taller guys that could play um 434 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 1: zone and man, I think this is a draft where 435 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,440 Speaker 1: a lot of people will say, like if I'm questionable, 436 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 1: if I have concerns at the top of the bullet 437 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,439 Speaker 1: about some of those other offensive positions. I'm gonna say 438 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 1: because I'm building my decense and I'll just those offensive 439 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:18,880 Speaker 1: positions on day three potential. Yeah, this is a safety 440 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 1: group that is loaded. And we've talked much about the 441 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 1: running backs on the offensive shot ball tight ends as well, 442 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 1: but yeah, the entire secondary is great. It's the best 443 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:28,640 Speaker 1: crop of safeties I've seen in a long long time. 444 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 1: In fact, you know, I hate um. You know, I'm 445 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 1: not into hyperbole. I'm not saying something to try and 446 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,199 Speaker 1: get attention of it, try and make a headline. But 447 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,919 Speaker 1: Mali Cooker from Ohio State, Bucky, I do not exaggerate, 448 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,719 Speaker 1: has the best ball skills of any safety I've ever evaluated. 449 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:48,160 Speaker 1: I mean he especially like Heaven watched him a close 450 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,200 Speaker 1: in person, had to Fiesta Bowl and that play that 451 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,119 Speaker 1: he made and the fronty corner of Arizone on Deshaun 452 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 1: Washson corner fade them don the real You just don't 453 00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,919 Speaker 1: see guys with that kind of closing quickness, anticipation in timing, 454 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,360 Speaker 1: and he's made those plays consistently. I want to see 455 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 1: seven or eight interceptions this year. And the thing is 456 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 1: his interceptions are legit interceptions and not uh balls. They 457 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 1: were thrown directly to him in his ship. He's ranging 458 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:17,879 Speaker 1: off his on and and I was curious about what 459 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,120 Speaker 1: he did. I watched four games on him, and then 460 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 1: I watched all of his production reel from this year, 461 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 1: so I saw all of his picks and all of 462 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 1: his tackles. And then I went back. I said, you know, 463 00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:28,360 Speaker 1: I know last year because they had those other safeties 464 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,400 Speaker 1: went onto the NFL, so he wasn't playing much. Let 465 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 1: me just sort his tackles and watch his tackles from 466 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 1: last year. Well, sure enough, Bucky. I mean, he must 467 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,720 Speaker 1: have had ten or eleven tackles on kickoff last year, 468 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,200 Speaker 1: on special team first one down, making tackle after tackle 469 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,359 Speaker 1: after tackles. So that to me always you watch these 470 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 1: guys on special teams, that speaks to their competitiveness and 471 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,639 Speaker 1: their toughness. And he had that. So he's a man. 472 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 1: We'll see how high ends up going. But he's a 473 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:58,880 Speaker 1: special special talent. Oh he didn't go really, And I think, um, 474 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 1: I think what had come down to when we're sorting 475 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 1: out the safety class, it comes down to what do 476 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,679 Speaker 1: you want? What kind of player are you looking for 477 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 1: because you talked about Hooker being a guy off the ad. 478 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,199 Speaker 1: We've talked about kind of like the Earl Times natural 479 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 1: center field of the guy that can get over the 480 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:15,720 Speaker 1: tope and make plays and kind of eat waste the 481 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,639 Speaker 1: deep all I see him in that van. I think that, 482 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:22,119 Speaker 1: like Jamal Adams, is more of a Landon Collins type, 483 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:26,240 Speaker 1: meaning he's more of a box got early, a strong safety, 484 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,000 Speaker 1: buy someone you want to put near the box. Let 485 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 1: him be active against the run. He can make some 486 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:32,960 Speaker 1: plays against the past as an underneath middle player, even 487 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 1: a deep middle player on occasion. But they're just different stylistically, 488 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 1: but they both bring tremendous value. Um they both can 489 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 1: enhance the defense. The thing that will be interesting is 490 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:46,360 Speaker 1: there has been a lot of conversations and the outside 491 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,400 Speaker 1: what about Jabrill Peppers and a lot of people kind 492 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 1: of fast tracked them as a top team guy. But 493 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 1: he is a guy to me that can be any 494 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 1: and everywhere on draft boards throughout the league because he 495 00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 1: just has a unique game and I just need to 496 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 1: see what his skill said looks like when we get 497 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:07,119 Speaker 1: up close and personally at the combine. Yeah, Now I 498 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 1: think he's a I think he's a great athlete. I 499 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 1: think he's a he's a projection and a work in progress, 500 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,480 Speaker 1: you know, as a safety. So um and there's there's 501 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:16,880 Speaker 1: just depends on what you look for. You talked about 502 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:18,639 Speaker 1: those different types of guys. I mean another guys that 503 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:22,360 Speaker 1: Marcus Williams from from Utah is a pure free safety. 504 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,720 Speaker 1: You know that. It's just a really really good football player. 505 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 1: I know exactly. I've seen him do it. I know 506 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,639 Speaker 1: exactly what he is. Whereas with Peppers, you gotta project 507 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:31,479 Speaker 1: a little bit of what he's gonna be. All Right, 508 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:32,840 Speaker 1: we gotta get out of here, back your real quick. 509 00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,120 Speaker 1: Let's jump on this national title game. Let's go score 510 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:39,159 Speaker 1: in in winter here. Clemson Alabama. You know, man, I 511 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 1: was all in on on Clemson, uh winning this game. 512 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 1: I think offensively they can challenge Alabama in a number 513 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,439 Speaker 1: of different ways. I think decessively they have the gig 514 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 1: dealing to be able to stuff Alabama's running and tell 515 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,159 Speaker 1: with both Scarver and kind of put the pressure on 516 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:55,000 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurt. I'm still leading to her taking them, but 517 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 1: I did see something with mik and Fitzpatrick said that 518 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,680 Speaker 1: his focus and alabama s focused this It was on 519 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 1: avenging the pool games they played against Clemson, lasting and 520 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,680 Speaker 1: tight again, and they want to dominate it. Kind of 521 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 1: the nervous and scared a little bit. I'm staying. But 522 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,400 Speaker 1: maybe maybe Alabama reaches back and put out of vintage 523 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 1: UH performers eas Day with Nick Day has been able 524 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,160 Speaker 1: to do when he said, opportuned to say multile quarterbacks 525 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,680 Speaker 1: a second go round. Maybe this is a really tight game. 526 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:22,640 Speaker 1: But I just still think that Deshaun Watson's the guy 527 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:24,760 Speaker 1: that can get it done. Give me a score, throw 528 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 1: a score out there. Oh um. Normally I would like 529 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:32,000 Speaker 1: to go high score. Let's go Clampson. Clempson wins on 530 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:35,960 Speaker 1: the last second, drop claps. Okay, I like that. I 531 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 1: like that score. I'm thinking definitely lower scoring than last year. 532 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:42,159 Speaker 1: I'm with you on the Alabama pride thing being a 533 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,920 Speaker 1: factor here. I think you also have to remember last 534 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,440 Speaker 1: year Curby Smart running that defense had already taken the 535 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 1: Georgia job. So maybe that was a little bit of 536 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,119 Speaker 1: a distraction. Maybe that would a little bit into h 537 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:55,200 Speaker 1: Lane Kiff and no longer being there for this game. UM. 538 00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,359 Speaker 1: I just think when I look at this Alabama defense, 539 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:02,119 Speaker 1: as complete as they are, UM, I think they're faster 540 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,160 Speaker 1: than they were last year. Defensively, I think they will 541 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 1: come in there and they will eliminate Deshaun Watson as 542 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,879 Speaker 1: a runner. That'll be their focus. They'll take that away. 543 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:13,840 Speaker 1: You know, Deshaun Watson is is great. If he played 544 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 1: against him last year, I was there with phenomenal. I 545 00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 1: don't think he can play a clean game against this defense. 546 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 1: He turns it over a couple of times. I don't 547 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:23,920 Speaker 1: think they score as many points as people think. The 548 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 1: more I've looked at this game, I'm gonna go Alabama 549 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:34,119 Speaker 1: wins this game. Bucket. They go, they go, they go. 550 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 1: They will throttle them all that. I don't know if so. 551 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 1: That's why I like that in years, it's a whole 552 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,680 Speaker 1: different ballgame from last year, and this team and this defense, 553 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 1: which which has a lot of talent and a lot 554 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,920 Speaker 1: of pride, was embarrassed even in a win last year, 555 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,359 Speaker 1: and I think they think they get after him a 556 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:54,240 Speaker 1: little bit in this one. I mean, you gotta remember, 557 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 1: I know it was early in the season. Was the 558 00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 1: first week that Clemson that Clemson offense went up against 559 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 1: Auburn and couldn't really get rolling. I know that obviously 560 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,359 Speaker 1: they're humming. Now. It's a totally different football team. But 561 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,440 Speaker 1: I think some of those issues that showed up against 562 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,400 Speaker 1: that Auburn front are gonna show up in the big 563 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:14,120 Speaker 1: way and this one against the front that's much much better. Man. 564 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 1: I mean, I I can see that because there's scenarios 565 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 1: that I've played in my head where I can see 566 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 1: what you talked about Alabama kind of playing like a 567 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 1: two man defense, too high safety, man and man underneath. 568 00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:28,400 Speaker 1: The best things that Deshound Watson have thrown thus far 569 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 1: had been quick and steam rouse and two man take 570 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 1: That eliminates all those layups, and it forces them to 571 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:36,880 Speaker 1: push the ball, them to feel in the tight windows, 572 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:39,480 Speaker 1: and we've seen them struggle a little bit returnovers. It 573 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:42,000 Speaker 1: will be interesting to see what Clemson comes up with 574 00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 1: the counter what Alabama does. From a schematic standpoint in 575 00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:47,640 Speaker 1: this game. I think that I think the two key 576 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,479 Speaker 1: players in this game for Clemson, um you look at 577 00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:52,239 Speaker 1: Renfro in the slot and you look at leg at 578 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,879 Speaker 1: the tight end. Because if Alabama can live in that 579 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 1: too high safety look, they're gonna have to. They're gonna 580 00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 1: have to get down the middle and he's gonna have 581 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,359 Speaker 1: to make some throws in there. I just I think 582 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,240 Speaker 1: the outside is gonna be tough because you're gonna have 583 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,920 Speaker 1: to get over the top of corners playing trail technique, 584 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 1: and you're gonna have safety help over the top, So 585 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:10,399 Speaker 1: pushing the ball vertically on the outside, I think it's 586 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:14,400 Speaker 1: gonna be difficult, even even with the stud like Mike Williams. Um, 587 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,040 Speaker 1: I think they're gonna have to get I think they're 588 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:17,320 Speaker 1: gonna have to get in the middle of the field 589 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 1: and trying to put these safeties and those are not 590 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:23,240 Speaker 1: easy throws. No, they're not easy throws at all. I 591 00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:26,320 Speaker 1: mean it's gonna be a challenge for sure. Yeah. So well, anyways, 592 00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:29,080 Speaker 1: we'll see see what happens there. It's all on the line, Bucky. 593 00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:32,359 Speaker 1: It's our battle for last place in our picks. I 594 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,679 Speaker 1: just went you want Clumps and I want Alabama. So 595 00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 1: this is I'm nervous because I finally fought my way 596 00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:39,600 Speaker 1: out of last place, and I could just end up 597 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:44,840 Speaker 1: right back where I was a week ago. It will terrible. 598 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:46,840 Speaker 1: Let's see TV. I can't wait to see what happens. 599 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,680 Speaker 1: All right, Well, we'll be back next week.
