Yeah how about that? Like so Trent Um 20 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:06,480 Speaker 1: finish up the season? They were right around five dred 21 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 1: maybe six and five, but in the playoffs they have 22 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 1: played lights out and I think like it would be 23 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,480 Speaker 1: great to have him enjoy come on and kind of 24 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:16,320 Speaker 1: talk about it. But I think you spend half of 25 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 1: year trying to figure out who you are and what 26 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 1: you are and how this coaching thing works. And then 27 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 1: he's pulled it together and they have a chance to 28 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:24,959 Speaker 1: win the whole deal. And then they're playing a team 29 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,559 Speaker 1: that beat them twenty eight to seven early in the year. 30 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:30,960 Speaker 1: But you know how those rematches are. Sometimes they can 31 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,760 Speaker 1: be difficult to knock off anymore. You never know. But 32 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 1: I'm excited to see what happens for him this Friday. Yeah, yeah, 33 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 1: we'll be We'll be keeping an eye on that score 34 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,760 Speaker 1: on the internet. See what happens there with our buddies. 35 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,279 Speaker 1: We got a fun episode today, including a great guest. 36 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 1: We're gonna chat with Boomer Assias and uh someone you 37 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 1: want to talk about quarterbacks and the changing of the guard. 38 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 1: Some of these old quarterbacks on their way out, some 39 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 1: new quarterbacks, young quarterbacks thriving and on their way up. 40 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 1: I got a chance to talk with Boomer about that. 41 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 1: We're going to also look at the second round in 42 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 1: the upcoming draft, Buck, we've been talking a lot about 43 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 1: the U just sheer volume of quality players we've seen 44 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 1: in that round. We've talked about in the last couple 45 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 1: of episodes. So I thought, let's let's spring forward here 46 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:14,519 Speaker 1: and let's look at the teams who kind of controlled 47 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 1: the second round. We've got some teams with multiple picks there. Um, 48 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 1: they've got a chance to really upgrade their roster. So 49 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 1: we'll preview that. Um after that, Buck, I mean, I 50 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 1: think we're gonna answer some questions and b always has 51 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 1: some questions that everybody leaves us there on on Apple podcast, 52 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 1: So we'll get some of those questions answered as well. Yeah, man, 53 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 1: let's do it. Let's just jump right into it. Let's 54 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 1: get to it all right. Let's let's jump into the 55 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 1: quarterback thing here, because um, it is fascinating and I 56 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 1: think you touched on this on the last episode with 57 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,359 Speaker 1: Rhett um. How we're seeing kind of that that two 58 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 1: thousand four class, you know, and that great class. Eli 59 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,799 Speaker 1: Manning has been benched, Roethlisberger has been out for the year, 60 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 1: Rivers has struggled as of late Um, and then you 61 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 1: look at Drew Brees not quite playing at that Drew 62 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: Brees level we're customed to, you know, consistently weekend and 63 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 1: week out good, but not at the level that he was. 64 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: So how much longer does he have? And maybe they 65 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,679 Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl? He rides off into the sunset. 66 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,920 Speaker 1: Tom Brady has struggled this year, Buck, So Um, there's 67 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,359 Speaker 1: some teams. While we have so many talented young quarterbacks, 68 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,799 Speaker 1: there's some teams that coming up this spring, I believe 69 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 1: have have got to look towards the future. Look and 70 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,239 Speaker 1: we've talked about these teams that you're mentioning. We've talked 71 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,919 Speaker 1: about them for a while and how they needed to 72 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,079 Speaker 1: find in next quarterback. And now some of these teams 73 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,839 Speaker 1: may be really up against it. When you talk about Rivers, 74 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 1: Brady Breese, Big Ben Eli, well, Eli's out, and you 75 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 1: know we have Daniel Jonaless, so does a natural succession 76 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 1: playing Daniel Jonales is starting on the field right now. Uh, 77 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 1: big men, we're seeing Mason Rudolph and I don't know 78 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 1: Mason Rudolph. I have more questions than answers about him 79 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 1: and whether he can be a franchise quarterback. Drew Brees 80 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 1: has Teddy Bridgewater behind him right now, but Teddy Bridgewater 81 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 1: is an unrestricted free agent after this year. Tom Brady, 82 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 1: I don't know if they have a young solution. Um 83 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: we can talk about Jared Stidham, but who knows Feza guy. 84 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 1: And then in Philip Rivers, I don't know if they 85 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: have a succession plan with the Chargers. And so what 86 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 1: we're seeing is maybe the end of an era. And 87 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 1: you look at here to the twenty twenty draft supplying demand. 88 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 1: Is this supply great enough to meet the demand when 89 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: it comes to franchise quarterbacks, Yes, there are a lot 90 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,039 Speaker 1: of quarterbacks that will talk about probably coming off the 91 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: board in the first two rounds, But how many of 92 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,720 Speaker 1: those guys are legit franchise quarterbacks that we really feel 93 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 1: good about these guys potentially taking the franchise for the 94 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 1: next five to ten years. Now, it's uh, look at 95 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 1: we've seen, you know, the exciting and the excited uh 96 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,840 Speaker 1: offenses and the fan bases around some of these young quarterbacks, 97 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 1: buck and then you're seeing some of the fear and 98 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: some of these other cities where you're want, okay, where 99 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,040 Speaker 1: do we go next? What's you know, what's next? In line? 100 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 1: I want to point out this this factor I just 101 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,719 Speaker 1: went and sort of this by QB rating. Okay, um, 102 00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 1: so this this is where we are right now, the 103 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,160 Speaker 1: top ten quarterbacks by stun qb riting. I know that's 104 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 1: a that's a little bit of a floods number, um, 105 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 1: but it gives you just a big picture of you here. 106 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, Kirk Cousins, Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, Matthew Stafford, 107 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: Derek Carr, Drew Brees seventh, uh Dak Prescott eight, Deshaun 108 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 1: Watson nine, Aaron Rodgers ten. I would argue, outside of 109 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,159 Speaker 1: Drew Brees, who is a good athlete, but who doesn't 110 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,600 Speaker 1: run um, all of the other nine and you think about, 111 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,360 Speaker 1: you know, guys like Kirk Cousins, Matthew Stafford, Derek Carr, 112 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. Those guys are all athletic, and when what 113 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 1: I mean by that is they can get themselves away 114 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 1: from some pressure. When you get a freeman, they have 115 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 1: a chance to make that guy miss. And when free 116 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: yards are opened up, when you have a chance, uh 117 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 1: a lot of times you see man carverage on third 118 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 1: down and you've got a chance to pick up that 119 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,720 Speaker 1: seven eight nine yards with your legs. Those guys are 120 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 1: fully capable of doing that. And that's why to me, 121 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,719 Speaker 1: you look where the league's headed, I think it's all connected. Buck. 122 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 1: We we've talked about the style of play at the 123 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,919 Speaker 1: college level, how that's made its way up to the 124 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,159 Speaker 1: NFL level. So that's what the college games given, so 125 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 1: you better figure out how to run a similar type 126 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,479 Speaker 1: of offense. And another thing that we always hit on 127 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,360 Speaker 1: here is the lack of offensive lineman. So if you're 128 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,159 Speaker 1: not having, you know, a fortress in front of you, 129 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 1: you're gonna have leaks. And if you don't have the 130 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 1: athleticism to be able to help yourself out, man, it's 131 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 1: gonna be hard going forward. It's going to be really 132 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 1: hard going forward. And you know the funny thing that 133 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,600 Speaker 1: that you mentioned when you brought up the top ten, right, 134 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:27,159 Speaker 1: the top ten quarterbacks according to QBR or passer rating 135 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,160 Speaker 1: or whatever. The guys that you mentioned that I still 136 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 1: would say are kind of more of your traditional pocket 137 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 1: passers would be Matthew Stafford, maybe Kurk Cousin. They're athletic 138 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,279 Speaker 1: enough to make players on the outside, but that's not 139 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:44,160 Speaker 1: really their game. But in saying that, they're still older players. 140 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,600 Speaker 1: So when you look at what we call the next generation, 141 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 1: the guys that are maybe five years under the common 142 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,839 Speaker 1: denominated between the young quarterbacks that are playing well. They 143 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 1: all have kind of I won't call them true dual threats, 144 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 1: but they do have some dual threat capability, athletic enough 145 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 1: to get on the outside but still can win from 146 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 1: the pocket. And I think what you're seeing, I would 147 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 1: say the perfect offense in the National Football League right 148 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 1: now where you don't really have to worry about the 149 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 1: quarterback that you have is that Kyle Shanahan Gary Kubiak system, 150 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: because I think that offense allows for you to have 151 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 1: a guy that's not as athletic as Russell Wilson or 152 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson or Deshaun Watson, but you're able to utilize 153 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 1: some of the athleticism to put pressure on the defense. 154 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 1: So we talked about Kirk Cousins, where Kirk Cousins isn't 155 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 1: like an A level athlete, but he's mobile enough to 156 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 1: get out on the edge and do some of the 157 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: naked from some of the bootlegs. You can move the spot, 158 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 1: you can make it very very difficult and challenging for 159 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 1: the defense. To me, that's what the new prototype will 160 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 1: be as much as I want to say the prototype 161 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 1: is Lamar and those guys, I think the new prototype 162 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: will be the guys that can play in that Jimmy 163 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 1: Garoppolo style offense, that can move. They can give you 164 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 1: that if you need it, but it's not necessarily the 165 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: basis of the game. But they still have to have 166 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: that tool in the toolbox to be able to help 167 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 1: you get out some of these bad plays. Yeah, look, 168 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 1: that's right. And I look at some of the top 169 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 1: rushing teams, uh, the Baltimore Ravens, this is nuts, buck. Okay, 170 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 1: let me give you like the ones right behind him. Okay, 171 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 1: San Francisco one game, Minnesota one forty two, Colts on one, 172 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 1: Houston one forty al Right, So that's those teams are 173 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:33,079 Speaker 1: all real close, alright. The Baltimore Ravens are averaging two 174 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 1: hundred and three rushing yards a game, over fifty yards 175 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,679 Speaker 1: more than the next best team rushing the football. And 176 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 1: and obviously la Mar Jackson's a big part of that, 177 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:44,560 Speaker 1: not only what he does with his legs, but the 178 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 1: threat of him with his legs. Then you go to 179 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 1: the so the second third teams Minnesota, h San Francisco 180 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: and Minnesota both the same scheme. Right, it's the exact 181 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: same scheme. It's from the Shanahan scheme. So that to 182 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 1: me is a little more scheme. And Garoppolo and and 183 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 1: cousins are both capable of of keeping it. And then 184 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 1: you'll talked about the boots and waggles, different things they 185 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,200 Speaker 1: can do. So on the back side, you still have 186 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 1: to account for them, you know what I mean, Like 187 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 1: there's a so so so come out the back door, 188 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 1: you have to account for right. The beauty of this 189 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 1: system is like a zone read because the quarterback boot 190 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,719 Speaker 1: leg is what occupies the backside defensive and so they 191 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 1: have that in common. Then you get to the Colts, 192 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 1: who have a great offensive line and kind of mash you. 193 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: Then Houston Athletic quarterback, Seattle Athletic quarterback, Dallas Athletic quarterback, 194 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:32,679 Speaker 1: Buffalo Athletic quarterback. Um man, if we if we say, 195 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 1: as as most football people say, look, you know, I 196 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 1: know it's a passing league and analytics and the benefits 197 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,200 Speaker 1: of passing the football, but when you get down to it, 198 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,840 Speaker 1: teams that played great defense and teams that can run 199 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 1: the football. Um, that's how you have sustained success. That's 200 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 1: how you're able to be consistent because that stuff works 201 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:51,679 Speaker 1: and that stuff travels. All those cliches you want to 202 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 1: throw out, um, but man, when you have a quarterback 203 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 1: that you have to account for and that can contribute, 204 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 1: maybe just a little bit, but can contribute, you canna 205 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 1: run the football and it's it's just a it's a 206 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 1: matter of fact. So when I look at these teams 207 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,960 Speaker 1: with the aging quarterbacks, UM, it's gonna be interesting to 208 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 1: see how they morph and and what they do. No 209 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:13,080 Speaker 1: more drastic change than going from Joe Flacco Lamar Jackson. 210 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 1: So it's been proven you can make that type of 211 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 1: an adjustment and have success. You absolutely can make that 212 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 1: kind of adjustment. Now, I think the interesting thing when 213 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 1: you you brought out the running teams and the connection 214 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:30,560 Speaker 1: with the quarterbacks, UM, San Francisco, Minnesota playing the same scheme, 215 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 1: the Colts being a dominant offensive line, the other teams 216 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,200 Speaker 1: that you mentioned have athletic quarterbacks. I think when we 217 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 1: begin to evaluate quarterbacks, UM, we should probably change how 218 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 1: we kind of evaluate them in some regard. UM. A 219 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,959 Speaker 1: lot of times we evaluate them strictly on passing yards, 220 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 1: passing touchdowns. I think with so many athletic quarterbacks making 221 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 1: contributions not only as throwers but as runners. I think 222 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 1: you have to make total touchdowns all part of it, 223 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,960 Speaker 1: total yards, total touchdowns. And the guy that I'm thinking 224 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 1: about is not even Lamar Jackson, but the effectiveness of 225 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 1: Josh Allen and Buffalo. Josh Allen is a guy that 226 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 1: you and I both wondered, how is he going to 227 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 1: have success in the league. Is he a good enough 228 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,319 Speaker 1: for an accurate or consistent enough passer to be able 229 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 1: to win games? But what we're seeing, and I believe 230 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,720 Speaker 1: we had this discussion that I felt like when Buffalo 231 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 1: took him, he was their version of Cam Newton, meaning 232 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,720 Speaker 1: when Sean McDermott and Brandon Bean were in Carolina they 233 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 1: went to the Super Bowl with Cam Newton flaws and 234 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 1: all as a passer, but because he was able to 235 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 1: kind of add a little running as some rushing touchdowns, 236 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 1: mixing some throws on good days, it worked. I think 237 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,720 Speaker 1: Josh Allen has given you maybe the poor man's version 238 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,959 Speaker 1: of Cam doing his m v P season. And when 239 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 1: you're looking at quarterbacks, we always talked about what they 240 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 1: can't do. I think more of the time going forward 241 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 1: has to be well, here's what they can do. He 242 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 1: can throw it a little bit, he can run it 243 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 1: a little bit, and if we put him in the 244 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: right situation, he can have success. That is going to 245 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 1: be a bigger part of the conversation going forward than 246 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 1: it ever has been in the quarterback evaluation and and 247 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 1: Buck we used the phrase, you know, a quarterback can 248 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 1: buy time, and people think of that within a play, right, 249 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,199 Speaker 1: you can buy time, you can extend plays. When you're 250 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 1: an athletic quarterback, you buy time from year to year 251 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,440 Speaker 1: because you allow yourself time to develop because while you're young, 252 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 1: use your legs more as you're developing as a pastor, 253 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 1: And look at Josh Allen from last year. Last year, 254 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 1: he was fifty two percent completion percentage. Uh, this year 255 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,720 Speaker 1: he's a that's you know, that's a nice jump. You know, 256 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:47,079 Speaker 1: seven plus points. Um, he's jumped. So he bought him 257 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 1: time to grow and evolved. Yeah, grow and evolved. We've 258 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 1: seen it with Lamar Jackson. Lamar Jackson made those improvements 259 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 1: as a passer. But your legs keep you in ball games, 260 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 1: help you win ball games while you're continue to develop. 261 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 1: But I also think it's a mistake. Ache and I 262 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 1: don't want to. I'm not going to trash college coaches, 263 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:07,080 Speaker 1: but I do think that because of the time commitments 264 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,320 Speaker 1: and the restraints at the college level, I think there's 265 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 1: more opportunity for guys to improve as passers than there's 266 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 1: ever been before. You know, I agree with homes mechanically impact. 267 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 1: Look at him and as the MVP of the league, 268 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,119 Speaker 1: he got so much better. These guys have an opportunity 269 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 1: to get better. You've got to be able to see 270 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:26,839 Speaker 1: where these guys are going, not just where they are 271 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 1: so uh. And I think we've talked about this a 272 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 1: couple of times. In the evaluation process, you have to 273 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 1: use your imagination. So it's not only a this is 274 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,560 Speaker 1: what he does, this is all he can do. UM. 275 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:43,199 Speaker 1: As an evaluator, you have to imagine, well, how can 276 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,080 Speaker 1: he evolve and how can we help him evolve? Uh? 277 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 1: In Baltimore and I don't know, like no one to 278 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 1: ever know if they took all those tied ends specifically 279 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 1: for Lamar Jackson or if they which for Joe Flacco, 280 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 1: But what has happened The offense has evolved to the 281 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 1: point that Lamar Jackson is very comfortable. When you're building 282 00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 1: the team and I've heard someone referred to this as, uh, 283 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 1: treat quarterbacks like baseball stadiums. You have to build your 284 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,440 Speaker 1: team to win in a given stadium. That's how you 285 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 1: win in the Major League baseball. What's the same thing 286 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 1: with your quarterback. I think you talked about putting a 287 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 1: track team around. Was Lamar Jackson or Josh Allen or 288 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 1: maybe even both of them? Well, no, John, both of them, actually, yeah, 289 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 1: I know Johsh Allen. So so you understand that. Look, 290 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 1: they're limited, so they're never going to be the Tom 291 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 1: Brady DNK DNK DNK DNK DNK. So what you wanna 292 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 1: do is you want to have explosive players. So when 293 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,880 Speaker 1: they do throw it, they're throwing for chunkyards. So they 294 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 1: may average high sevens eight yards per attempt. Now we 295 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,479 Speaker 1: may not ask them to throw it more than thirty times, 296 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 1: but the volume is going to net out. So rather 297 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 1: than through at forty times with six yard averages there, 298 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 1: throw it twenty three to twenty seven. Have bigger averages, 299 00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 1: more explosive plays because everyone is is out in the box. 300 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 1: But to do that, speed receivers, big receivers, UH, run 301 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 1: after catch guys having that and so as an evaluator. 302 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 1: I just believe team builders now would not only have 303 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 1: to open up their minds creatively, but they're going to 304 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 1: have to open it up when they look at their 305 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 1: team and say, look, this isn't the way that I 306 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 1: envisioned my team maybe five years ago. But now because 307 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 1: of the young quarterbacks and the way that they would 308 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 1: develop over five years, the first five years of his career, 309 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 1: we may need these kind of athletes years five through ten. 310 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 1: We may have to change our focus to help him 311 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 1: because he's a different player than he was initially. Yeah, look, 312 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 1: I believe with the young quarterback, if you can start 313 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 1: building inside out, you know, obviously try and get that 314 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 1: offensive line in shape. And now we've seen the you know, 315 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 1: with the ability to use tight ends. Those are easy 316 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 1: throws that help you on the run game. So if 317 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 1: you're building an inside out as a young player, as 318 00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 1: you get older, and we saw with Peyton Manning was 319 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:00,720 Speaker 1: with some of the guys he played with upfront with 320 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,920 Speaker 1: the Colts, you know, once you've established yourself, um, you 321 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 1: can kind of cover up for some of the flaws 322 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 1: up front, and you can spend some of your money 323 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,280 Speaker 1: on some of the toys. Um, on the perimeter because 324 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 1: you're able to beat that, You're gonna be able to 325 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 1: beat pressure with your mind, and these guys are all 326 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,120 Speaker 1: gonna have an opportunity to get there. But man, when 327 00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 1: you're young, it'sure. Is nice to be able to have 328 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 1: you know, a good group in front of you and 329 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 1: to be able to use your legs. That seems to me, Um, 330 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 1: that's the formula. I also think when you don't lose 331 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 1: sight of the fact Buffalo has a great defense. Um, 332 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 1: you look at Baltimore, is defense has really come on Dallas. 333 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 1: Dallas has a good defense. This this is allowing these 334 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,520 Speaker 1: young quarterbacks to really grow and then eventually you kind 335 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 1: of take the training wheels off, which we've seen with 336 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott this year. Yeah, it is funny because, like 337 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 1: I believe, there's a correlation between all of the things 338 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 1: when it comes to team building and complimentary football. So 339 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 1: what you've talked about early with the quarterbacks, you say, 340 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:53,800 Speaker 1: young quarterback running game, Well, running the ball helps your 341 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 1: defense because you reduced the amount of snaps that they play. 342 00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,240 Speaker 1: And so to build a team, it has to be 343 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 1: a complete buy in and tie in, meaning the way 344 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 1: we play offense compliments the way that we play defense 345 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 1: and vice versa. And so as we're building the team 346 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 1: with a young quarterback, it is important to understand, Okay, 347 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 1: we got a young quarterback on the rookie deal, so 348 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 1: when we spend the money, we may need to spend 349 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:22,400 Speaker 1: more of the money on defense, old line tight ends, 350 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:24,600 Speaker 1: and then the rest of the team will kind of 351 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 1: grow and catch up to him as he gets older. 352 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 1: That's a great point, book, Um. I think that's a Again. 353 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,720 Speaker 1: I always contend that there's no such thing as the 354 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:36,880 Speaker 1: right plan on the wrong plan. There's having a plan 355 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 1: and not having a plan. And I think we're seeing 356 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 1: with these teams that are having success they had a 357 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,640 Speaker 1: plan in place once they selected the quarterback, and they've 358 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 1: built the thing accordingly and it's look it's working. We're 359 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,120 Speaker 1: seeing a lot of success here with these young guys. Uh. 360 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,840 Speaker 1: Speaking of quarterbacks, let's get to our conversation our guest here, 361 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:54,200 Speaker 1: I've really been looking forward to this one. Uh, one 362 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,200 Speaker 1: of the one of the really outstanding broadcasters for a 363 00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:01,440 Speaker 1: long time on television. Also, UH, fine quarterback. Obviously, here's 364 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:05,399 Speaker 1: our conversation with Boomers Sison. Boomer, thank you so much 365 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,399 Speaker 1: for for taking the time for us today, we're actually 366 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,360 Speaker 1: just talking about quarterbacks, kind of taking that leap year 367 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,359 Speaker 1: two and uh in your in your career gyle, your 368 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 1: second year was outstanding. What was the difference for you 369 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:20,600 Speaker 1: coming into that second season, Well, guys, my rookie year, 370 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:22,159 Speaker 1: I had no idea what I was doing. You know, 371 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,560 Speaker 1: I was with Sam Wish. We were running the West 372 00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:28,199 Speaker 1: Coast offense that Bill Walsh had devised, and you know, 373 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:32,880 Speaker 1: the play calls, the personnel groupings, trying to describe the defense, 374 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,960 Speaker 1: what the defense was doing, the past protection, the run checks. 375 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,920 Speaker 1: There was just so much to learn, and I had 376 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:40,919 Speaker 1: no idea what I was doing. Now, I was lucky 377 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 1: our quarterback room also had Kenny Anderson in it, and 378 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 1: Turk Schoner uh and and Bruce Consle was our offensive coordinator, 379 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 1: so I had four guys around me that really prepared me. 380 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 1: But the next year, it's almost like a light went off. 381 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 1: And I think my first start was against the San 382 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:03,160 Speaker 1: Diego Chargers and Dan Fouts, and I think that game 383 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:06,480 Speaker 1: we scored forty one points or forty two points. And 384 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,440 Speaker 1: I'll never forget Paul Brown saying to me after the game, 385 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 1: the owner of the team and the former great coach 386 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 1: of course of the Browns and the Bengals said you're 387 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,879 Speaker 1: our guy, You're the future of the franchise. And it 388 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,800 Speaker 1: was almost like my brain was unlocked and I started 389 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:24,480 Speaker 1: to understand exactly what was happening to me. You know, Boomer, 390 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,879 Speaker 1: I do wonder how it is for you sometimes to 391 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,919 Speaker 1: sit and watch all of these guys playing no huddle 392 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 1: up tempo offense. When the Cincinnati Bengals were one of 393 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,080 Speaker 1: the guys, they were at the front end of doing it. 394 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,480 Speaker 1: Can you talk about the advantages of playing fast where 395 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 1: there's no huddle or even the sugar huddle stuff did 396 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,560 Speaker 1: you guys used to do back in the day. You know, 397 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,720 Speaker 1: it's kind of interesting. Back in five Sam really started 398 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,199 Speaker 1: putting more on my plate, and they were asking me 399 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 1: to do more at the line of scrimmage, more descriptive words, 400 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 1: and I mean, we had a whole language all into ourselves. 401 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,560 Speaker 1: So the more I could handle, the more he would 402 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,760 Speaker 1: put in. And uh, I just wanted more my thirst 403 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 1: for knowledge and control and to be the A type 404 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 1: personality on the field and tell ten guys what to 405 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 1: do over eighty thousand people screaming at us. I mean, 406 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 1: was not that it was just such a rush each 407 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:19,199 Speaker 1: and every week. So I truly appreciated the pressure that 408 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,120 Speaker 1: came along with that, and and I loved the fact 409 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,880 Speaker 1: that I was in charge pretty much at the line 410 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 1: of scrimmage and I could change to any play as 411 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,639 Speaker 1: long as I had the corresponding personnel groups and pass 412 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,399 Speaker 1: protections and things like that all kind of sync up, 413 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,320 Speaker 1: which I did. And as we moved through, uh you know, 414 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 1: the mid eighties all the way until the Super Bowl, 415 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, it was just it was so 416 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:43,439 Speaker 1: it was great to be in control of all of that. 417 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 1: So interestingly enough for me, when I went back to 418 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:51,160 Speaker 1: Cincinnati my final year and Bruce Coslic was my head 419 00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:54,920 Speaker 1: coach and Kenny Anderson was our offensive coordinator, we didn't 420 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,880 Speaker 1: run the no huddle, but we ran an up tempo offense. 421 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,879 Speaker 1: To this day the NFL still has seen because I 422 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 1: don't really necessarily know anybody could truly understand what we 423 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 1: were doing in the last five games of that year. 424 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 1: And I'll never forget playing in Tom Coffin when he 425 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,879 Speaker 1: was with the Jaguars, and Jeff fisherwar and he used 426 00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,439 Speaker 1: with the Titans. Both of the coaches came up to 427 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,479 Speaker 1: me after the game and said, what exactly did you 428 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,639 Speaker 1: do or what were you doing? Um? And our tempo 429 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 1: was so fast. It wasn't as if we weren't going 430 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,239 Speaker 1: no huddle. We were actually going with the huddle. But 431 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:31,159 Speaker 1: I was kind to get our team to change on 432 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 1: the fly, much like hockey teams do, and they change 433 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 1: lines and our guys figured it out and it was 434 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 1: like magic for about five weeks there at the end 435 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,239 Speaker 1: of my career, and it was something that was to me, 436 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 1: was the most memorable part of my career because it 437 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:50,480 Speaker 1: impacted so many young players. I love it, absolutely love 438 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,520 Speaker 1: it when when we go through the evaluation process with 439 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 1: the draft every year, Boomer Um, I try and the 440 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:57,880 Speaker 1: quarterbacks look, it's it's hard man to try and get 441 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:01,280 Speaker 1: this thing sorted out. When I was in Baltimore, UM, 442 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,160 Speaker 1: we had a project and it was trying to find 443 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:04,960 Speaker 1: what all these great quarterbacks, what was a trait that 444 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:06,680 Speaker 1: they had in common. And when I went back through 445 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:08,199 Speaker 1: and went through all the Hall of Fame quarterbacks, all 446 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,200 Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl quarterbacks, and poise was the one thing 447 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 1: I thought, Okay, you can different sizes, different arms, strength, 448 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,639 Speaker 1: different athletes, but poise was was something that they all shared, 449 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,360 Speaker 1: So that was one of the big three for me, poise, accuracy, 450 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 1: decision making. But with the way the games played now, 451 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:24,400 Speaker 1: I'm wondering if I need to add a fourth thing 452 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,360 Speaker 1: in there in terms of just being able to extend 453 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:28,680 Speaker 1: plays with your feet and being able to move around 454 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 1: a little bit, because it seems like if your quarterback 455 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,119 Speaker 1: can't move, so it's it's such a disadvantage with the 456 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:36,399 Speaker 1: way that the game has evolved right now. Yeah, I 457 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:38,679 Speaker 1: don't think the game has changed all that much. I 458 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,200 Speaker 1: mean a lot of us were able to move and run. 459 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 1: We just didn't have the r p O that they 460 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,680 Speaker 1: have these in this day and age. I mean we 461 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 1: were able to escape, and I you know, I think 462 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 1: a lot of quarterbacks, even like the guys that were 463 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 1: you would think were more statuetque in the pocket. Like 464 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:54,879 Speaker 1: Jim Kelly, he could get out of the pocket if 465 00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 1: he had to. I could get out of the pocket 466 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,200 Speaker 1: if I had to, Phil Simms, Troy Men, all of 467 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 1: us could run. I mean there was no question about that. 468 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 1: They just weren't calling runs for us. There wasn't that 469 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:08,520 Speaker 1: RPO aspect of the game. But the attributes that I 470 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,680 Speaker 1: always look for, uh, Pois is one of them. Certainly, 471 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 1: accuracy is big because if you can throw the ball 472 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,679 Speaker 1: and know where you're throwing it, obviously that helps. But 473 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 1: I always want the a type personality. I want the 474 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 1: guy that when he was in high school he was 475 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 1: a captain of his football teams, baseball teams, basketball team, 476 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,439 Speaker 1: or his lacrosse team. I want somebody that you know, 477 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 1: can work well with people, that understands pressure. Uh you 478 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 1: know when I'll never forget this one. We were interviewing 479 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,720 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes before the draft on our show here in 480 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:42,600 Speaker 1: New York. After we got done interviewing him, I told 481 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:44,840 Speaker 1: the guys that I worked with, that's my quarterback. That's 482 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,240 Speaker 1: the guy that I want. And the reason I felt 483 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 1: that way was I could see all the stuff on 484 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:51,879 Speaker 1: the film, as you guys can too, but when I 485 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:55,640 Speaker 1: met him, there was like this, this this steely eyed 486 00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:58,440 Speaker 1: confidence in him. And you know, I knew his dad 487 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:00,240 Speaker 1: when his dad played for the Mets, and I knew 488 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,840 Speaker 1: that he had been around Major League Baseball and was 489 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 1: shagging fly balls at the age of six, so he 490 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,439 Speaker 1: was not going to be overwhelmed that. I knew that 491 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,720 Speaker 1: his life where it was headed was where he wanted 492 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:13,639 Speaker 1: it to go and where he expected it to go. 493 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 1: So when Andy Reid drafted him, I was so happy 494 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:18,199 Speaker 1: for that young man because he was going to be 495 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,399 Speaker 1: with a great head coach and that coach was going 496 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:21,920 Speaker 1: to get the most out of him like he has 497 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:25,119 Speaker 1: with every quarterback he's ever coached. So um, there are 498 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:28,880 Speaker 1: certain personality traits that I can tell when I meet 499 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:30,359 Speaker 1: these guys that I know that they're going to be 500 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 1: a success. You know, Boom, we're going going back to 501 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:36,399 Speaker 1: early conversation. You talked about how it was such a 502 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:38,359 Speaker 1: rush and how important it was for you to be 503 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 1: in control, to have all of that heaped onto you 504 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 1: to really run the offense. Obviously, back then that's a 505 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 1: little more old school where quarterbacks would call their own place. 506 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 1: If you were an offensive coordinator in today's game, what 507 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,239 Speaker 1: would be the thing to sign that you would know 508 00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:58,320 Speaker 1: that you could trust a quarterback to give him control 509 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:00,679 Speaker 1: of the offense and to step back. And it just 510 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,800 Speaker 1: kind of got them from afar. Well. I wish I 511 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:05,639 Speaker 1: could say I was calling my own plays. There was 512 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 1: one year there that I tried to do that, and 513 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 1: that was in Uh I wanna and Sam, why should 514 00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 1: have been fired and David Shula had become the head coach, 515 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,639 Speaker 1: and I knew the offense better than David. David was 516 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 1: our wide receiver coach the year before, and he said, 517 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 1: you want to give this a shot. So imagine me 518 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,520 Speaker 1: Bucky out of the field trying to figure out, Okay, 519 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 1: it's third and five. We're on their for to your 520 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,240 Speaker 1: online what personnel grouping I want in there. I'm running 521 00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 1: the no huddle offense. I'm calling plays, and after about 522 00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:36,400 Speaker 1: four games, I was mentally exhausted. I was shot. So 523 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,240 Speaker 1: that's not as easy as it sounds. But I will 524 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 1: say this, for all quarterbacks to get to the line 525 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,040 Speaker 1: of scrimmage and then call the play at the line 526 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 1: of scrimmage, when you have a number of plays that 527 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,720 Speaker 1: you can go to, I think that's relatively easy. I 528 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:53,120 Speaker 1: think both quarterbacks should be able to read defenses, look 529 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 1: for keys. If they have smart offensive coordinators and they're 530 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,200 Speaker 1: in tune with their offensive coordinators, all that stuff should 531 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,440 Speaker 1: be second nature. I don't expect rookies to be able 532 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,639 Speaker 1: to do that, but you know, guys like Josh Allen 533 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:05,840 Speaker 1: this year, for instance, you know he's playing better than 534 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 1: he played last year. He's still not at the height 535 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,160 Speaker 1: of where I think he can get to. I think 536 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,520 Speaker 1: the ceiling for this young man is really high because 537 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,600 Speaker 1: he has something that, you know what you really really 538 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,440 Speaker 1: want a quarterback, and that's he loves the game of football. 539 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:20,800 Speaker 1: He looks like a football party, he plays the game 540 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,600 Speaker 1: like a football player. So I know that they're struggling 541 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,000 Speaker 1: a little bit offensively with him, but each and every 542 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,160 Speaker 1: week he seems to be getting better and better and better. 543 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,720 Speaker 1: But now I think he he should be able to 544 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 1: be trusted by calling the right plays at the line 545 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,120 Speaker 1: of scrimmage, getting the run checks right, getting the past 546 00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:41,320 Speaker 1: protection checks right, being able to give a little bit 547 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,040 Speaker 1: of a tip to one of his teammates that may 548 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:46,000 Speaker 1: be actually younger than him on the field. I played 549 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,400 Speaker 1: with Corey Deal in my final year, and every time 550 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,119 Speaker 1: we broke the huddle, I told Corey, look, you got 551 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:53,520 Speaker 1: number fifty six over there to fifty three, and if 552 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:55,399 Speaker 1: they don't come, you can run your wife pattern, but 553 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:57,600 Speaker 1: don't do it until you make sure they're not coming. 554 00:26:58,119 --> 00:26:59,919 Speaker 1: Because I would always make sure that I would come 555 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 1: for myself. So this is some of the part of 556 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 1: the communication process these young kids got to go through. 557 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,159 Speaker 1: And I think every quarterback should be required to be 558 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:10,960 Speaker 1: able to do that, or I wouldn't put them on 559 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 1: the field because they couldn't they couldn't protect themselves. Absolutely. Earlier, Boomer, 560 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,920 Speaker 1: you talked about Mahomes and being around the sport of baseball. 561 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,560 Speaker 1: We've kind of made it our little crusade here. Um, 562 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,679 Speaker 1: we're so against the whole specialization we see him with 563 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,000 Speaker 1: with young kids nowadays only playing one sport. We all 564 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:30,879 Speaker 1: played three sports growing up. I know you were a 565 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:34,119 Speaker 1: three sport guy. Um, just your thoughts on that and 566 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 1: kind of where you see youth sports and how it 567 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,840 Speaker 1: has an impact as they go forward. You know, I 568 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:40,680 Speaker 1: think parents all hope that their kids make it to 569 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,439 Speaker 1: the pros. Always tell parents be realistic, give me lasted 570 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,200 Speaker 1: one actually make it to this level. And if you 571 00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:48,520 Speaker 1: do make it to this level, it's it's very unlikely 572 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 1: you're gonna last more than three years. So you always 573 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:53,480 Speaker 1: have to make sure that you're falling back on something else. 574 00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 1: Education obviously being the most important thing, but I want 575 00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:58,639 Speaker 1: kids to experience all sorts of things. You know. I 576 00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 1: love baseball. I love playing the game. I love the 577 00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,359 Speaker 1: nuance of the game. Um, I love the pitch I 578 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:07,480 Speaker 1: love the bat. Uh love stealing bases. You know, you 579 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:09,959 Speaker 1: learn just a different kind of concept from the different 580 00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:13,080 Speaker 1: sport playing basketball five men on the court, you know, 581 00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:14,800 Speaker 1: I was a point guard. I was able to see 582 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:17,239 Speaker 1: the you know, and distribute and that was to me 583 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:20,560 Speaker 1: like throwing touchdown passes. I actually enjoyed a better assist 584 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:24,160 Speaker 1: than I did make in a three point shot myself. So, um, 585 00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:26,399 Speaker 1: you know, but that's a trade of a quarterback. You 586 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:28,760 Speaker 1: want to make the people around you better. You want 587 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:30,920 Speaker 1: to be so good at your craft that no matter 588 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,560 Speaker 1: how bad somebody is you're playing with, you're going to 589 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,840 Speaker 1: have a positive impact on their ability to do their job. 590 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,720 Speaker 1: And you're gonna be able to communicate with them. You're 591 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:43,440 Speaker 1: gonna be able to facilitate whatever little short SoundBite you 592 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:45,160 Speaker 1: may need to get to them to make sure that 593 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:48,160 Speaker 1: they're more comfortable on the field. Um. And that's I 594 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:51,200 Speaker 1: think that comes from being well rounded and being around 595 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:54,440 Speaker 1: other types of athletes and other types of situations. I mean, 596 00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:56,680 Speaker 1: there's only what eight or ten football games you play 597 00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 1: in high school. You can play thirty five basketball games, 598 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 1: you can w forty baseball games and you're still a 599 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,000 Speaker 1: part of the team and the team dynamic and the 600 00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 1: coach and and leading by example and inspiring your teammates. 601 00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:11,239 Speaker 1: So that's why I always say it's better for you know, 602 00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,160 Speaker 1: players like like I wasn't like you guys weren't in 603 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:16,760 Speaker 1: high school, to play as many sports as you can 604 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 1: and experience as many different team based experiences that you 605 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:25,480 Speaker 1: can have. All right, Boomer, this has been outstanding. Man. 606 00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:28,280 Speaker 1: We can't thank you enough for your time. Got page 607 00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:30,800 Speaker 1: full notes here and learned a lot today, so we 608 00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:34,040 Speaker 1: do appreciate it. Man, Thank you so much. I appreciate 609 00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:35,840 Speaker 1: you guys. Have a great day. Thanks for having me on. 610 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,360 Speaker 1: Well there you go, Buck Boomer very kind and generous 611 00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:42,040 Speaker 1: with his time. They're great to catch up with him. 612 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,200 Speaker 1: And and somebody, I think, look, I don't know there's 613 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,720 Speaker 1: anybody smarter in the in the TV space when it 614 00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:50,520 Speaker 1: comes to NFL football. Boomer sizens outstanding. He is outstanding. 615 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:54,000 Speaker 1: But I look, I don't know, um how I feel 616 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:55,959 Speaker 1: about him because as as a kid he was at 617 00:29:55,960 --> 00:30:00,400 Speaker 1: the University of Maryland, and am uh when when I 618 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 1: was a kid, Maryland won three straight a CC titles 619 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:06,560 Speaker 1: and Boomer was the centerpiece to that movement. And so 620 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:08,160 Speaker 1: I always have a tough time when I look at him, 621 00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:09,880 Speaker 1: because I don't look at Boomer Sas and the great 622 00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:13,400 Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals player. I look at Boomer SaaS and playing 623 00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 1: in red with the terps just kind of running all 624 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,200 Speaker 1: over my tar heels and beating them up at the 625 00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:20,400 Speaker 1: stadium a couple of times. So I have a tough 626 00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,080 Speaker 1: time with that. But you're right, he's one of the best. 627 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:24,200 Speaker 1: He's one of the best analysts um that we come across. 628 00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:25,840 Speaker 1: I love the way he breaks down the game, and 629 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:28,000 Speaker 1: I really love the way he breaks down young quarterbacks. 630 00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:31,960 Speaker 1: He played with no fear and he uses that same 631 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:34,800 Speaker 1: style as a broadcaster. All Right, I want to get 632 00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:38,120 Speaker 1: to a quick discussion here. Second round buck. We mentioned 633 00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,800 Speaker 1: it on an episode maybe two episodes ago, the importance 634 00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:42,719 Speaker 1: of the second round. Looking at all those wide receiver 635 00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,800 Speaker 1: hits seen in the second round, man, it's it's the 636 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:48,520 Speaker 1: most bang for your buck. I mean, when you look 637 00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,000 Speaker 1: at how you can get these starters, you get it 638 00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,239 Speaker 1: for four years. Man. Uh So when you look at 639 00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:56,800 Speaker 1: this year teams with multiples, We've got the Seahawks, the Bears, 640 00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:00,719 Speaker 1: the Dolphins, the Colts, and the Falcons. That is a 641 00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:03,080 Speaker 1: good spot to be in there and round number two, 642 00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:07,120 Speaker 1: great spot to be in. And it's one of those 643 00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:10,560 Speaker 1: things DJ like, Now, Um, I was driving the other day. 644 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:12,600 Speaker 1: I was thinking about a conversation that we've had in 645 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:16,160 Speaker 1: terms of the marquee positions and what positions you would 646 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:18,760 Speaker 1: value in the first round. Coming off the heels of 647 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:20,480 Speaker 1: our discussion that we had a week or two weeks 648 00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:23,320 Speaker 1: ago where we talked about second round receivers, I was like, 649 00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:25,280 Speaker 1: I don't know if I would ever take a receiver 650 00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:28,000 Speaker 1: in the first round. Now, Um, maybe I would take 651 00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:30,880 Speaker 1: it right back. So so now I'm beginning to think, well, 652 00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:35,080 Speaker 1: how many positions are really valued in the first round? Um, 653 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:37,040 Speaker 1: And this will jump off into our second round thing. 654 00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:41,320 Speaker 1: What positions just without names, but what positions do you deem? 655 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:44,840 Speaker 1: I have to take those positions in the first round? Quarterback? 656 00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:51,080 Speaker 1: We know, offensive line, defensive line, Like, I mean, what 657 00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:54,200 Speaker 1: what other ones are ones that you say? I am 658 00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,240 Speaker 1: fine committing to the corner. We're just going to draft 659 00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:01,200 Speaker 1: in the first round those positions. Yeah, I mean to me, 660 00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:03,360 Speaker 1: let's go, let's go through it first round. If we're 661 00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:07,960 Speaker 1: looking at important go quarterback, I'll go edge rusher, I'll 662 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:13,240 Speaker 1: go offensive tackle, I'll go corner. Um, those to me 663 00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:17,560 Speaker 1: are the ones that supply wise, it's just a limited supply. 664 00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:19,440 Speaker 1: There's only and it really when it comes down to it, 665 00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:25,280 Speaker 1: probably the quarterback, offensive tackle. I think there's usually a 666 00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:28,280 Speaker 1: pretty big drop off from round one to round two. Traditionally, 667 00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:31,520 Speaker 1: edge rusher you can stumble into one here there, corners 668 00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:34,240 Speaker 1: you'll find some, although I still think those those four, 669 00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:36,080 Speaker 1: to me, you want a corner to come in and 670 00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,560 Speaker 1: play right away, usually you gotta you gotta spend a one. 671 00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:42,720 Speaker 1: So that's so, that's so that's funny because I I 672 00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:45,240 Speaker 1: haven't always agreed with that, But the more did I 673 00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:47,320 Speaker 1: look at it, the more what I'm saying, you know what, 674 00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:52,320 Speaker 1: maybe the only as you got put is maybe a 675 00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,240 Speaker 1: special running back. But I don't even know if I 676 00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,920 Speaker 1: can confidently say that because I've been they got to say, hey, 677 00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:02,440 Speaker 1: you know you can take one early because Zeke and 678 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:05,760 Speaker 1: Tie Gurley and all those other guys. But let's just 679 00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,520 Speaker 1: say this, like we're building a team, and we're thinking 680 00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:12,560 Speaker 1: about like building it for the long haul. I think 681 00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,120 Speaker 1: if you're talking about you get your quarterback and then 682 00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:18,160 Speaker 1: you just continue to invest in the offensive line, and 683 00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,480 Speaker 1: let's just say we're just pumping the first round picked 684 00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:23,160 Speaker 1: into the offensive line over three or four year period, 685 00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:26,600 Speaker 1: where we eventually have an offensive line that just features 686 00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,080 Speaker 1: all first rounds. We saw the San Francisco forty nine 687 00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:31,120 Speaker 1: is basically do that in reverse for the d line. 688 00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:34,120 Speaker 1: But let's just say we committed to building a first 689 00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:37,160 Speaker 1: round offensive line. How much better could we beat than 690 00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:40,480 Speaker 1: other teams if we just poured our resources into that 691 00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:42,800 Speaker 1: and then said in the second and third rounds that's 692 00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:45,040 Speaker 1: where we get a skill. Guys, we had a free 693 00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:47,880 Speaker 1: agent here there. Could we build a better team by 694 00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:51,680 Speaker 1: having a rock solid foundation building the lines first and 695 00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:56,200 Speaker 1: then the other stuff as a secondary secondary positions. Well 696 00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,880 Speaker 1: that that that to me is the blueprint book. Um 697 00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:01,000 Speaker 1: I we did it out the other day and we 698 00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:03,280 Speaker 1: saw it. I said, it's hard to have a bad 699 00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:06,040 Speaker 1: team with a great offensive line. Yes, it's just hard 700 00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:08,799 Speaker 1: man and somebody the only so you know, Twitter is right, 701 00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:11,279 Speaker 1: everybody's gonna try and find you know, you know, why 702 00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:13,879 Speaker 1: you're wrong and shoving your face. There was only one 703 00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:17,160 Speaker 1: team that came up, and that was Brown's team of 704 00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:19,640 Speaker 1: you know whatever. It was five or six years ago 705 00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:24,799 Speaker 1: when they had Joe Thomas Schwartz Batonio, Um, Alex mac 706 00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:27,640 Speaker 1: that was a great offensive line, bad team. That's the 707 00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:31,920 Speaker 1: one example that Twitter could give me offensive line and 708 00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,239 Speaker 1: a bad team, I would be okay with it. And 709 00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:38,239 Speaker 1: this goes back to a conversation UM when I was 710 00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:41,160 Speaker 1: in Kansas City, Marty Schotenheimer, UM, and he said this, 711 00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:43,239 Speaker 1: and he's he stood in front of the team. We 712 00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:46,840 Speaker 1: had just lost Marcus Allen, uh, Greg marks Allen had retired, 713 00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:48,680 Speaker 1: Greg hill Hey going off to free agency, and he 714 00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:50,799 Speaker 1: stood in front of the room. He said, it never 715 00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:54,239 Speaker 1: matters for us who the running backs are as long 716 00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:58,560 Speaker 1: as we have Will Shiels, Dave's Dot and Tim Gronnard. 717 00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:01,240 Speaker 1: At the time, all three of those guys were Pro bowlers, 718 00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:03,560 Speaker 1: and it didn't matter. He said, we can run the 719 00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:06,240 Speaker 1: ball that will because we have dominant people up front. 720 00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:10,280 Speaker 1: And I am beginning to believe that the offensive line 721 00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:13,160 Speaker 1: matters more than the guys that are really toten to rock. 722 00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:15,200 Speaker 1: And it has taken me a long time to come 723 00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:18,080 Speaker 1: to that realization, but I am beginning to see it. 724 00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:20,160 Speaker 1: Like just look at the San Francisco forty nine is 725 00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:22,360 Speaker 1: and the way they run the ball. Yes, it's a 726 00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:26,040 Speaker 1: combination of personnel and scheme, but they're doing it with 727 00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:29,200 Speaker 1: a cast of really no names in the backfield, and 728 00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:33,000 Speaker 1: so investing in the offensive line really matters. And you 729 00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:36,360 Speaker 1: see it each week with the Chargers. If the Charges 730 00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:40,200 Speaker 1: had in a level offensive line, it really wouldn't matter 731 00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:43,080 Speaker 1: if it was Melvin Gordon, Austin Ekeler, whoever was there, 732 00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:45,319 Speaker 1: because if I can guarantee you that we will get 733 00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:47,680 Speaker 1: pushed for four or five yards, the running game is 734 00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:52,759 Speaker 1: going to be successful, no doubt. Um. Again, I just 735 00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,520 Speaker 1: think there's no excuse to not put resources in the 736 00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:58,560 Speaker 1: offensive line because the data is out there. I mean, 737 00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:01,799 Speaker 1: the evidence is out there if you will invest. And 738 00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:06,200 Speaker 1: that's um draft capital meaning high picks, and that's free 739 00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:09,919 Speaker 1: agency dollars, you know. And and I think we've we've 740 00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:11,640 Speaker 1: seen the teams if you go look at the standings, 741 00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:13,200 Speaker 1: go look at the teams in first and second place 742 00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:17,600 Speaker 1: in every division. Not many bad offensive lines in that bunch. Man. No, 743 00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:19,799 Speaker 1: I mean, let's you said that, you said the Chargers. 744 00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:20,919 Speaker 1: I want to go back to that real quick, because 745 00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:24,080 Speaker 1: you said the Chargers. Think about this. Russell Coon's missed 746 00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:26,440 Speaker 1: the majority of the season, hasn't hasn't played County has 747 00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:28,040 Speaker 1: missed a big chunk of the season. So if you 748 00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:30,600 Speaker 1: go back last year, even Sam Tevy has been hurt, 749 00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:33,320 Speaker 1: go back last year, but those guys healthy. It was 750 00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:35,160 Speaker 1: a better it was a better offensive line. You got 751 00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:37,160 Speaker 1: better you got better results. It's not a it's not 752 00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:39,359 Speaker 1: a mystery. No, it's not. It's not a mystery. And 753 00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:43,040 Speaker 1: I mean even the Seattle Seahawks um ascension of late 754 00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:45,640 Speaker 1: they got Dwayne Brown, who's the first round pick. Uh, 755 00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:48,520 Speaker 1: you go, and just kind of piece through their officsive line, 756 00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:51,120 Speaker 1: and the reason they improve, well they have better players 757 00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:55,319 Speaker 1: up front, better players is that The underrated trade is that, 758 00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:59,640 Speaker 1: like I feel talking about the round change. Remember, I 759 00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:01,719 Speaker 1: mean for year after year it was like this offensive 760 00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:03,600 Speaker 1: line can do this, can't do that. I mean they're terrible. 761 00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:06,280 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson is gonna get killed. And then that trade 762 00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:08,480 Speaker 1: was the first kind of they got a foundation. He's 763 00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:11,640 Speaker 1: a foundation piece there at left tackle. And I don't 764 00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:13,680 Speaker 1: feel like that gets mentioned. Is one of the great 765 00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:15,600 Speaker 1: trades of the last decade. I really think it was. 766 00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:18,920 Speaker 1: It really was, and and I think it continues to 767 00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:23,040 Speaker 1: speak to um what we're saying in terms of foundation. 768 00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:26,799 Speaker 1: And so let's just say you're running, you're running a team. 769 00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:29,320 Speaker 1: The foundation players are the quarterback, the add rush of 770 00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:31,960 Speaker 1: the offensive tackle in the cornerback. And I think he 771 00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:33,560 Speaker 1: kind of plays out if we go back and look 772 00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:37,520 Speaker 1: at the guys who are your perennial Pro Bowl players, UM, 773 00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:39,480 Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl players, the guys that are at the 774 00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:41,680 Speaker 1: top of the position, typically our first round players at 775 00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:45,359 Speaker 1: those respective positions. UM, the edge rusher thing. I think 776 00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:48,480 Speaker 1: we can make it rusher because it can be inside 777 00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:51,240 Speaker 1: or outside, but regardless of somewhere that can affect the quarterback. 778 00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:53,719 Speaker 1: But that's what it is. And then you put the 779 00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:57,719 Speaker 1: other pieces around those four. And the reason quarnerback is 780 00:37:57,719 --> 00:37:59,760 Speaker 1: still a big one because we're seeing more teams played 781 00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:01,880 Speaker 1: man man, whereas before you could say, hey, I can 782 00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:04,600 Speaker 1: get away with unless they're talent. We can hide him 783 00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:06,600 Speaker 1: in his own we can be a cover two guy 784 00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:08,759 Speaker 1: or whatever. No, you need to have a playmaker there. 785 00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:10,160 Speaker 1: They guy has to be at the Catholic. He has 786 00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:12,279 Speaker 1: to be able to lock up and play. And there's 787 00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:15,120 Speaker 1: a premium and finding those guys because they change the 788 00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:18,720 Speaker 1: way that you're able to play on defense. UM. Team 789 00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:22,560 Speaker 1: building is always evolving, but there's some of these things 790 00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:25,680 Speaker 1: that have been true over the test of time, and 791 00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:28,160 Speaker 1: I think over the test of time, quarterbacks passed for 792 00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:30,759 Speaker 1: us as tackles and corners have always kind of been 793 00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:33,040 Speaker 1: the guys that have been the focal points of your 794 00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:38,080 Speaker 1: team building process, no doubt. All Right, there's a big 795 00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:41,320 Speaker 1: college football game this weekend. We've got Ohio State Penn State. 796 00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:43,839 Speaker 1: I feel like we've talked a lot about players from 797 00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:46,400 Speaker 1: that game, so I say we we hold off on that. 798 00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:48,359 Speaker 1: Let's talk about what they do in the game once 799 00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:50,160 Speaker 1: we once they play the game, that we act to 800 00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:52,680 Speaker 1: it next week. Of what we've seen from all those stars, 801 00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:55,400 Speaker 1: um Nobile, I I know you've got some You've got 802 00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:58,799 Speaker 1: some questions for us here, fire away, buddy. All right, 803 00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:02,760 Speaker 1: First one, what positions should the Lions be angling to upgrade? 804 00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:06,440 Speaker 1: If you were in charge of building their roster the 805 00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:08,799 Speaker 1: rush to pass? What do you think, Buck, They gotta 806 00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:10,120 Speaker 1: get to the past, so they can't get to the 807 00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:12,959 Speaker 1: past there. I mean, in this game where the league 808 00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:14,480 Speaker 1: is still a passing league and you have to earn 809 00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:15,960 Speaker 1: the right to get there. They have to be able 810 00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:18,560 Speaker 1: to increase the pressure rate on the quarterback. They are 811 00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:19,960 Speaker 1: a team that wants to play man and man they 812 00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:22,080 Speaker 1: play it only behind the pages in terms of the 813 00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:24,160 Speaker 1: amount of man and man snaps they play. But if 814 00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:25,839 Speaker 1: you can't rush to pass, it's hard for you guys 815 00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:28,840 Speaker 1: to hold up. Uh. They need to find pass rushers. 816 00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:30,960 Speaker 1: They need to find them in droves, because you cannot 817 00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:33,719 Speaker 1: impact and effective quarterback without guys that can get to 818 00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:37,200 Speaker 1: them at a lot of scrimmage. I'll say playmaker two 819 00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:38,799 Speaker 1: on the back end of that defense. Get some more 820 00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:42,120 Speaker 1: playmakers there. Um, just getting your hands on the football 821 00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:44,600 Speaker 1: making plays. Um. I'd keep an eye on that, and 822 00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:46,960 Speaker 1: we've looked they've invested there a team that has invested 823 00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:49,680 Speaker 1: a lot in the offensive line with high picks. UM, 824 00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:51,880 Speaker 1: I wouldn't I wouldn't be afraid to go back in 825 00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:54,279 Speaker 1: that direction if you wanted to as well. UM. I 826 00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:57,760 Speaker 1: think they're kind of building their identity as a physical team. UM. Obviously, 827 00:39:57,800 --> 00:39:59,520 Speaker 1: you know Stafford, they can chuck around the yard. They've 828 00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:01,520 Speaker 1: got some good white outs. But UM, I have no 829 00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:04,319 Speaker 1: problem if they keep going back to that. Well, yeah, 830 00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:05,560 Speaker 1: they have to. They have to continue to do it. 831 00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:09,120 Speaker 1: They have to continue to find a way to upgrade. 832 00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:12,080 Speaker 1: That's that spot and in as Matthew Stafford gets older, 833 00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:14,880 Speaker 1: it's even more important that the pastors to do it. 834 00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:16,960 Speaker 1: But it seem more impointed to defense and the running 835 00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:19,279 Speaker 1: game are bigger factors because as he gets older, you 836 00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:20,960 Speaker 1: want to lean on him less. You don't want to 837 00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:22,799 Speaker 1: lean on him more to be the guy has to 838 00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:26,359 Speaker 1: do everything for the team. Yeah, And I just think 839 00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:28,040 Speaker 1: if you're going to prioritize it, though, I think I 840 00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:30,799 Speaker 1: would probably. I think you mentioned that their defensive line 841 00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:34,160 Speaker 1: pass rush um. I definitely think the focus starts on 842 00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:36,120 Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball, and then you can 843 00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:38,160 Speaker 1: go back on the offense. Continue to double down on that. 844 00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:40,080 Speaker 1: On that old line, what do we got? Do you 845 00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:42,840 Speaker 1: think the success of teams that are using more traditional 846 00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:46,879 Speaker 1: personnel like the Seahawks, forty Niners, Ravens, and Patriots will 847 00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:53,640 Speaker 1: influence how other teams build their roster? You think that again, absolutely, 848 00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:57,200 Speaker 1: it's going to influence it. Offensive line, tight ends, fullbacks. 849 00:40:57,239 --> 00:40:59,600 Speaker 1: I mean to me, the fullback is the great story. 850 00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:02,400 Speaker 1: It's the great untold story of the twenty nineteen season 851 00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:05,520 Speaker 1: is how many teams are employing fullbacks and and being 852 00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:07,680 Speaker 1: you know, catalyst for their run games. I think the 853 00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:10,400 Speaker 1: fullback um, which is hard to find in college football 854 00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:12,560 Speaker 1: right now. Um, but you're gonna see You're gonna see 855 00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:14,239 Speaker 1: teams trying to find that guy if they don't have 856 00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:18,040 Speaker 1: one already. You know, DJ, I do believe it's coming 857 00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:21,200 Speaker 1: full circle. And I mean the league is always reactionary. 858 00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:25,280 Speaker 1: So what happened. Defenses began to utilize all these small, 859 00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:28,200 Speaker 1: fleet footed pass rushes on the field to be able 860 00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:31,840 Speaker 1: to affect the passing in well. To counter that, teams 861 00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:34,560 Speaker 1: have gone back to what I call nineteen eighties football, 862 00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:36,719 Speaker 1: where you're in two backs, one tight end, or in 863 00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:40,160 Speaker 1: twelve personnel, one back, two tight ends, and you're hammering 864 00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:42,440 Speaker 1: the ball at those little guys trying to run them 865 00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:45,319 Speaker 1: off the field. I also believe the success at the 866 00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:48,400 Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings and the San Francisco forty Niners have have 867 00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:53,480 Speaker 1: running two back systems with the complementary play action package 868 00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:57,080 Speaker 1: to be able to take quarterbacks that might have been 869 00:41:57,160 --> 00:41:59,319 Speaker 1: up and down, and they've been able to level them 870 00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:01,600 Speaker 1: out by being able to run it and run the 871 00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:05,239 Speaker 1: bootlegs and the nakeds and the misdirection action. You will 872 00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:09,160 Speaker 1: see more teams utilize that, and the versatility of Kyle 873 00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:13,000 Speaker 1: you Check has definitely helped the full back come back 874 00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:16,920 Speaker 1: in vogue. What is the ra Shard kid from Baltimore 875 00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:21,160 Speaker 1: who is diversatile fullback, but he also is a pass rusher. Record, Yes, 876 00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:24,960 Speaker 1: that helps as well. It used to be a throwaway position. 877 00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:27,960 Speaker 1: We're trying to run all those guys out. That position 878 00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:31,520 Speaker 1: has value and if the fullback can catch the ball 879 00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:35,640 Speaker 1: out the backfield, he is a dangerous weapon. And I 880 00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:39,279 Speaker 1: believe if I could tell any young guy, any guy 881 00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:42,280 Speaker 1: that's a linebacker that may play offense in high school, 882 00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:44,640 Speaker 1: I would say spend a little time on the jugs machine. 883 00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:47,080 Speaker 1: Because if you're a fullback who can catch the ball 884 00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:50,480 Speaker 1: like those other guys, those elite guys can, man, you 885 00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:54,120 Speaker 1: can find a home in the National Football League. And 886 00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:57,800 Speaker 1: the big takeaway too for me is that these these um, 887 00:42:57,840 --> 00:42:59,480 Speaker 1: you know, college kids as they come to the league 888 00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:01,560 Speaker 1: don't know how to fit up properly. And you say, 889 00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:03,319 Speaker 1: they don't see this. They don't see two or three 890 00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:06,200 Speaker 1: tight ends, they don't see fullbacks in college. So um, 891 00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:08,120 Speaker 1: just being able to play downhill, the ability to fit 892 00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:11,040 Speaker 1: up and and and gap control for really the entire 893 00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:13,040 Speaker 1: front seven is something those guys don't have as much 894 00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:16,359 Speaker 1: experience at when you're seeing these different formations. So yeah, 895 00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:19,000 Speaker 1: I think we're gonna definitely see a little copycat action 896 00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:21,600 Speaker 1: going on. All right, that's gonna do it for us today, 897 00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:24,080 Speaker 1: Buck jam packed episode.
