1
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:12,239
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold Aaron Rodgers, who are two guys who used

2
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 1: to play for the Jets that are now slated to

3
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:17,320
Speaker 1: be free agents in just a couple of weeks. We're

4
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:20,120
Speaker 1: going to talk about where those two might wind up

5
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: and maybe how much money they're going to make. Darnold

6
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,759
Speaker 1: more than Rogers for sure. Meanwhile, guys who are set

7
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 1: to begin their professional careers at the quarterback position, Shador

8
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,959
Speaker 1: Sanders and Cam Ward. Our guy, Lancerline going to join

9
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: us in a couple of minutes for his mock Draft

10
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: one point zero to tell us where he thinks these

11
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 1: guys might wind up and coming up in just a bit,

12
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: Eric Armstead, the Jaguars defensive end and the Walter Payton

13
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: NFL Man of the Year, set to join us to

14
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 1: talk about what he's done off the field and on

15
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: the field, and what he plans to continue to do

16
00:00:54,920 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 1: in both places. Welcome inside with the Insiders. Adam Rank

17
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: joining me the Friday pre scouting Combine edition of The Insiders.

18
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: So glad to have you Rank. Like I said, we're

19
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: going to have Lance Zerline in just a couple of

20
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: minutes because as always, we've got a lot to get

21
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: through the news never stops in the NFL, even on

22
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 1: a Friday in February, and it happened in a few

23
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,479
Speaker 1: places earlier today. A matter of fact, this a short

24
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: while ago, Ian Rappaport and I reported that Eagles pass rush.

25
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 1: This guy's a young studup. You haven't seen the baldy

26
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: breakdown of Nolan Smith recently. You got to go check

27
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: that out. He's smiling here after the Eagles won the

28
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, and I don't know how because he had

29
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: torn triceps. He had surgery this week. He's going to

30
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: miss obviously the off season program, but the expectation is

31
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 1: that he's going to be ready for the start of

32
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: the season. So Nolan Smith impressive at the Super Bowl,

33
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: in the postgame locker room and at the parade, did

34
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: most of it with a torn triceps. So he is,

35
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: as I put in my tweet quote super tough, super

36
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: with a capital S. James Gladstone the new general manager

37
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: of the Jacksonville Jaguars, coming over from the Rams, just

38
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 1: thirty four years old. He's been a big part of

39
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:14,079
Speaker 1: the scouting process with the Rams under Lesnied, the general manager. Yes,

40
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 1: it's close to Joey Gladstone, who is Dave Coolier's character

41
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 1: on Full House. But that joke has been made plenty

42
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 1: of times today, so if you final making it again,

43
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: you can cut it out right, all right? That was

44
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: the last one. And Brandon Staley, yes, with the San

45
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: Francisco forty nine ers actor being the head coach of

46
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Chargers now the defensive coordinator of the

47
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints, says we reported earlier today. That was

48
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: Ian Rappaport's tweet right there, So Staley once again a

49
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator joining Kellen Moore's staff down there in New Orleans. Okay,

50
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: I mentioned Rogers, Yes, the Jets are moving on from him.

51
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 1: They have made it clear. Rogers working out in California TMZ.

52
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,799
Speaker 1: He caught up with him and did a deep two

53
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,519
Speaker 1: question interview asking him what do you need to see

54
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: in your next team? Rogers said, one, they need to

55
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 1: want me and two no, they need to be good.

56
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 1: That's what Rogers is looking for at this point in

57
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 1: his career. Obviously, Rank we're talking about potential fits or

58
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 1: maybe even does Aaron Rodgers play in the NFL this

59
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: upcoming season. I think there are enough chairs left with

60
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: teams needing quarterbacks. That he will what are you seeing

61
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 1: in Rogers future?

62
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,519
Speaker 2: But is it the right situation? Because a couple of

63
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 2: years ago, when Rogers went to the New York Jets,

64
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 2: that was a team that a lot of people felt

65
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 2: was on the cost of going to possibly the Super Bowl,

66
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 2: that we're just a quarterback away. So when you're talking

67
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 2: about these teams that need a quarterback, are they really

68
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 2: set up to make a run for the Super Bowl?

69
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 2: I would argue that a lot of them are not.

70
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 2: And for me, I actually believe that Aaron Rodgers is

71
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 2: in the perfect position for himself. Number One, He's in

72
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 2: a spot where he's not going to have to go

73
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 2: to training camp because we know he does like that.

74
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 2: He's probably got a trip planned a Mazetlaine or something

75
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 2: him and him and Vince Mann are going to go

76
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 2: hang out somewhere, So he doesn't want to go to

77
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 2: training camp, and he wants somebody to want him. I

78
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 2: think what's going to happen is he's going to wait

79
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 2: and he's going to see if there's going to be

80
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 2: an opportunity with one of these teams. And it's an

81
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 2: unfortunate business. You're not necessarily rooting for somebody to get injured,

82
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 2: but there have been instances in the NFL where a

83
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 2: good team has lost its quarterback. Aaron Rodgers doesn't want

84
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 2: to go and be a backup somewhere. We can wait

85
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 2: and possibly get into a situation where he arrives as

86
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 2: the hero, which again is something that he loves to do.

87
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, there are a few ways for Rodgers to play this.

88
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: To sign somewhere immediately and maybe with a team like

89
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 1: you said. I know a lot of folks have connected

90
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: them to Tennessee. Is Tennessee all of a sudden gonna

91
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: be a Super Bowl contender? Or to wait it out

92
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,479
Speaker 1: like you said, maybe be the Sam Bradford. Remember that

93
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: one when Teddy Bridgewater went down for the Vikings in

94
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:53,799
Speaker 1: training camp. All of a sudden they needed a quarterback

95
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: they traded with the Eagles. Aaron Rodgers could be that guy.

96
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: From a free agent standpoint, I like your approach on

97
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: this one, Adam. Let's see if Rogers likes it as well. Meanwhile,

98
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 1: Sam Donald, this one's gonna be a quick one. This

99
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: is going to be the first free agent quarterback Domino

100
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 1: to fall foreshore. Yes, the Vikings would like to have

101
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 1: Sam Donald back, but it's going to be at quite

102
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: the number, and they're in the position now where they

103
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: want to be able to capitalize on the rookie quarterback

104
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,720
Speaker 1: contract with JJ McCarthy. You can't do that if you're

105
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 1: spending forty million dollars per season plus on Sam Donald,

106
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: which is what we expect. So where do you see

107
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: Donald fitting in when it comes to the free agent market.

108
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is going to be a very difficult situation because, again,

109
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 2: the teams are going to be available to him are

110
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 2: not close to being competitive in the NFL. Whereas if

111
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 2: you didn't take as much money and let's say you

112
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,919
Speaker 2: went out there for one more proven year deal with

113
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 2: the Minnesota Vikings, an opportunity to once again work with koc.

114
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 2: We do not know where JJ McCarthy is on his rehabilitation.

115
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,479
Speaker 2: He might still be a ways away. So if Sam

116
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,280
Speaker 2: Donald gets another chance to go out there, maybe prove

117
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 2: the last season and was not a fluke to go

118
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 2: out there and win fourteen games, perhaps he goes out

119
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,479
Speaker 2: there does it again on a one year prove it deal.

120
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 2: Then he's got a lot more juice and a lot

121
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 2: more leverage of the following year. But at the same time,

122
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 2: he might be looking at this as a situation of like, look,

123
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,559
Speaker 2: my stock has never been higher. I've never been hotter

124
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 2: than I am right now. Listen, I just starred as

125
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 2: Hans Solo in the Star Wars franchise. I'm gonna sign

126
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,679
Speaker 2: on to be Indiana Jones, So I wouldn't be upset

127
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 2: with him if he would go out there and take

128
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:27,559
Speaker 2: that money.

129
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: The next thing you know, you're playing a guy psychiatrist

130
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: with Parkinson's and shrinking, which is an amazing show if

131
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 1: you haven't watched that one yet, it's the many facets

132
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: of Harrison Ford that we're seeing. Sam Darnold say, don't

133
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 1: listen to that man. Capitalize right now, Sam, He's right.

134
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: The last thing he said is correct. Russell Wilson. Meanwhile,

135
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: his stock has been higher in the past. Yeah, it

136
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 1: was an interesting season in Pittsburgh, a lot of ups

137
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: and downs. In the middle of the season looked like, Wow,

138
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:56,919
Speaker 1: this guy's setting him up for himself, up for a

139
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: long term deal. Not quite the case right now, and

140
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,359
Speaker 1: the Steelers looking at him and Justin Field saying, well,

141
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 1: we'll bring back one or the other, but not both.

142
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 1: So what do you see from Russell Wilson and the

143
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: only other team he met with last often I believe

144
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 1: it was the only other team was the Giants. They

145
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 1: need a quarterback, so potentially they're still in play. What

146
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: do you see for Wilson, Well, I.

147
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 2: Think there's an opportunity. I think he should take a

148
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 2: trip to Las Vegas. Maybe he's strolling across the lobby

149
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 2: of the Wind he sees his ex Pete Carroll. Hey,

150
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 2: you know what, the sparks fly again. Maybe they go

151
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 2: to Tao, have a little dinner, then all of a sudden,

152
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 2: next thing, you know, back together. Let's make it happen.

153
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 2: I would love to see Russell Wilson and Pete Carroll

154
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 2: back together once again. Listen, Marshawn Lynch was there at

155
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 2: the introductory press conference for Pete Carroll. I don't think

156
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 2: it's atlandish to think that Russell Wilson could end up

157
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 2: being there. It depends on what the Raiders do at

158
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 2: the quarterback position. I know Lance is going to come

159
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 2: on here in a couple of minutes and talk about

160
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 2: whether the Raiders will be drafting a quarterback or not.

161
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 2: But as a bridge quarterback in Las Vegas, I think

162
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson makes a lot of spends a lot of sense,

163
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 2: especially with the milliere he has with Pete Carroll.

164
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: I'm expecting new general manager John Spytech and head coach

165
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll to throw multiple missiles there at the quarterback

166
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 1: position to try to land one, basically, whether it's a

167
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: free agency or the draft or trading for one. So

168
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson is a guy that maybe could fit in

169
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: that formula. We shall see Russell Wilson looking for a

170
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: team that needs help with the quarterback position. Teams with

171
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 1: that need help with the quarterback position, looking at free

172
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: agents like Russell Wilson, but also toward the draft. Our

173
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 1: guy Lance Zer lines mock Draft one point zero here

174
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 1: has the Titans starting the run on quarterbacks right there

175
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 1: with the number one pick. It's very interesting across the

176
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: mock draft world. Who thinks the Titans go quarterback? Who

177
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: thinks they go position player? Who thinks they trade out?

178
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,199
Speaker 1: Lance is here with us to discuss the whole deal.

179
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 1: So let's start right there. Number one, Lance cam Ward

180
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 1: being pretty much the consensus pick for the first quarterback

181
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 1: off the board. The question is where he goes? You

182
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 1: think it's to Tennessee at one?

183
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 3: I think it really could be It really comes down

184
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 3: to the internal discussions. You know, Mike, how this goes

185
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 3: late in the process, or really in the middle of

186
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 3: this process is when you start having the ebbs and

187
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 3: flows of the discussion about what position you're going, who.

188
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 4: You like, and a lot of things can change after

189
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:21,599
Speaker 4: a combine.

190
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 3: So I'm really interested to see how cam Ward performs

191
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 3: at the combine. But maybe more importantly, you know the

192
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 3: buzz from NFL teams about his interviews.

193
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:32,959
Speaker 4: I've heard that he is going to interview.

194
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 3: Well, I think his personality is going to play well

195
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 3: in those in those meeting rooms, and so I think

196
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 3: there is still a chance that the Tennessee Titans or

197
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 3: another team could still have a quarterback potentially targeted with

198
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 3: that first pick.

199
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then you've got the Raiders at number six

200
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: going with Youador Sanders, with some teams in between, whether

201
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: we'll get to in a second, but your door Sanders

202
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 1: at six.

203
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, So you know, Okay, Look, when you look at

204
00:09:58,800 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 3: cam Woard, cam Ward's the.

205
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 4: Guy that has all the physical attributes.

206
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 3: He's got the arm, talent, he's got mobility, he's got size.

207
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 3: When you look at Shador, it's a little different because

208
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 3: Shador Sanders is intriguing because he is a game manager

209
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 3: on the next.

210
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 4: Level, not in college.

211
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 3: In college, he fancies himself as a playmaker, as every

212
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 3: quarterback does. But when you look at his strengths and weaknesses,

213
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,680
Speaker 3: he's got poise, He's got great confidence in the pocket.

214
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:24,839
Speaker 4: I think that just comes from the.

215
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 3: Bloodlines, frankly, and then when you watch his accuracy, it's

216
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,079
Speaker 3: really really good. And we start talking about poise and

217
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 3: accuracy and confidence, those are the elements that we really

218
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 3: like from an intangible standpoint, And that's why I think

219
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,439
Speaker 3: Shador Sanders is going to make for a great game manager.

220
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 3: I don't use that phrase, you know, in a derogatory sense.

221
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 3: I think it's really I think it's what most quarterbacks

222
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 3: should aspire to.

223
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,839
Speaker 4: Not everyone can be Patrick Mahomes.

224
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 3: And Shador Sanders has a chance to be a good

225
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,319
Speaker 3: game manager, which would mean a good starter.

226
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 1: So we got Browns of two, we got Giants at three,

227
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 1: we got the Jets. Also in the amongst the teams

228
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: that do need some quarterback help, you've got them going

229
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 1: non quarterback take us through the thought process in all

230
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: three of those teams.

231
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 3: So look, I just don't think that the Browns are

232
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 3: going to do it. I think when you look at

233
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 3: Andrew Brown, you look at the general manager. He is

234
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 3: analytics driven. I know they need a quarterback, but you

235
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 3: don't force an issue unless you love quarterback, and I

236
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 3: think the Browns just won't love a quarterback enough to

237
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 3: take a quarterback in that spot. When you look at

238
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 3: the Giants, you know, I still think the Giants could

239
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 3: be in play for Matthew Stafford. That's kind of popped

240
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 3: up here recently. So let's see what the Giants have

241
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 3: up their sleeves before draft day if nothing happens. And

242
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 3: of course I think quarterback is potentially on the board

243
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 3: for them as well.

244
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 4: And the Jets.

245
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 5: You know, the.

246
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:45,559
Speaker 3: Jets could look at quarterback, but I think it's a

247
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 3: huge reach once you get past your doors Sanders, if

248
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 3: he's off the board, you're really reaching in the first round.

249
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 3: And sometimes the quarterback of the future is just not

250
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 3: in the draft, so you don't force it. You wait

251
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 3: until you know, you roll the dice and wait until

252
00:11:58,200 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 3: the next year. That's all you can do.

253
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: The Giants, the Jets, excuse me, just getting started. So

254
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: they have the luxury the general manager and the head

255
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: coach of time. The Browns and Giants maybe not so much,

256
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 1: so they may have to think longer and harder about

257
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: the quarterback position. You're also going to see the Browns

258
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: and or the Giants maybe both will do something when

259
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 1: it comes to free agency or via trade to add

260
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,079
Speaker 1: a quarterback before the draft, which could allow them the

261
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 1: flexibility to do what you're seeing them doing in your

262
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 1: mock draft. Okay, overall, in the first round, what's going

263
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: to be the surprise group position group of the first round?

264
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:34,959
Speaker 3: Well, I think it's going to be defensive line, and

265
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,559
Speaker 3: we can start with the edge. I mean, the defensive ends,

266
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 3: the edge players, and defensive tackles are going to be

267
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 3: the stars. And let's look at the edge players right here,

268
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 3: Abdell Carter, Michael Williams, Mike Green, Nick Skurtin, Schamar Stewart,

269
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 3: James Pierce. Those are guys in my mock draft. But

270
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 3: you know, you could have some other guys popping there.

271
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 3: It depends on what you think of Jalen Walker from Georgia.

272
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:57,239
Speaker 3: Is he a linebacker?

273
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 4: Is he an edge player? Doesn't matter.

274
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 3: It's going to be a loaded edge class from rounds

275
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,559
Speaker 3: one all the way through round four. But I think

276
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 3: the same thing can be said about defensive tackle. So

277
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 3: if you're looking for a guy to rush the passer,

278
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 3: and we know it's a copycat league, everyone wants to

279
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 3: do what the Eagles have done.

280
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 4: That means get rush, whether it's on the inside or

281
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 4: the outside. This is going to be a draft for you.

282
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 4: May not be a great draft.

283
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 3: If you need quarterback, but if you need somebody to

284
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 3: go hunt quarterbacks, I got some guys for you rounds

285
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 3: one through four, and a lot of the stars are

286
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 3: going to be in around one, where I think we

287
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 3: could see eleven to twelve defensive lineman going to first round.

288
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: I should note the Abdel Carter selection to the Cleveland

289
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:41,559
Speaker 1: Browns at number two could potentially provide them the flexibility

290
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: to trade away Miles Garrett, although they have still indicated

291
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 1: privately that they don't want to do that and they

292
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 1: believe that Miles Garrett in the end will return to Cleveland.

293
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,959
Speaker 1: But again, if this should happen this way, perhaps it

294
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: provides that flexibility moving forward. Lanceerline his mock Draft one

481
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,479
Speaker 1: developing in Indianapolis. We know what happens there. A lot

482
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 1: of things happen there. Lances are line back with us,

483
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 1: including players starting to make their name. Basically entrenched in

484
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 1: the minds of these evaluators as they get closer to

485
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 1: the draft. What they see on tape is confirmed by

486
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 1: what happens in the drills and in Indianapolis for a

487
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 1: lot of guys. So take us through your players. Were

488
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 1: getting close people. You gotta know who these people are.

489
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:20,879
Speaker 1: Take us to your players to watch here at the scouting.

490
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 4: Combine's take you to school with the freak daddies. These

491
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:23,879
Speaker 4: are the freak daddies.

492
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 3: And I'm going to start off with one of the

493
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:28,640
Speaker 3: freakiest guys of the combine is going to be nick

494
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:33,160
Speaker 3: Emon Worried. Nick Emon Worry from South Carolina, six foot three,

495
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,639
Speaker 3: two d and thirty seven pounds of twisted steel and

496
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 3: combine appeal. Look for him to jump over forty inches

497
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,160
Speaker 3: in a vertical. He's going to go over eleven feet

498
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 3: and broad jump. Those two numbers are spectacular. He's expected

499
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,399
Speaker 3: to run in a low four to four range, or

500
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 3: maybe even into the four threes. At this size. It's

501
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:54,919
Speaker 3: incredible and I'll tell you something. We saw what happened

502
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:58,199
Speaker 3: with Kyle Hamilton and the excitement that he's generated in

503
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 3: the NFL since he was drafted. I think Iman Worry

504
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 3: could be the same type of build up talent where

505
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:07,919
Speaker 3: he gets really hot after the combine. He's great on

506
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 3: the back end. He's a player with great instincts, five

507
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,719
Speaker 3: star wide receiver type ball skills, and it's just a

508
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,879
Speaker 3: matter of him learning to really crank the motor up

509
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 3: play in and play out. But man, he's got all

510
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:22,400
Speaker 3: the talent and all the traits you could possibly hope for,

511
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 3: and the combine is gonna it's gonna be his place

512
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 3: to shine.

513
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 5: Yeah.

514
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,159
Speaker 1: The Calton at six y four, I believe. So he

515
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:32,160
Speaker 1: got a man Worri at six three, although the official

516
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 1: measurements also a big part of the combine going to

517
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 1: come through. We're going with a defensive tackle from Michigan,

518
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 1: but not the one that most people have been talking

519
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,200
Speaker 1: about earlier in the draft. Who you got here?

520
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, hey, look, Mason Graham's going to test well, But

521
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 3: Kenneth Grant's.

522
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 4: Going to be the star of the combine, I think.

523
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 3: And when I talk to people over at Michigan, they

524
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 3: think Kenneth Grant has a chance to potentially have a

525
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,679
Speaker 3: higher ceiling than Mason Graham. And one of the reasons

526
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:59,879
Speaker 3: is because the freaky traits. This is what the combine's about,

527
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 3: unleashing the size, the length, the movement skills.

528
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 4: He ran a sub five forty.

529
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,400
Speaker 3: At three hundred and sixty pounds when he first came

530
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 3: into Michigan and he has only gotten faster, he's gotten

531
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 3: in better shape, and he's extremely explosive. Now his best

532
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:19,119
Speaker 3: football is not at Michigan. It's going to be in

533
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,360
Speaker 3: the future. He's not where he needs to be. But

534
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 3: the combine is where teams click that projection box and

535
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 3: they say, all those traits push them up the board.

536
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 5: Yeah.

537
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 1: Love it. So keeping an eye on Grant as well

538
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:34,479
Speaker 1: as Graham out of Michigan. The two g's out of Michigan.

539
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 1: I like it. We got multiple positions that we're working here.

540
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 1: Let's go to the linebacker position.

541
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:42,920
Speaker 3: Linebacker Jiad Campbell from And it's weird because this is

542
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 3: a guy from Alabama who when we talk about different positions,

543
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 3: you like different position groups. I'm not even sure what

544
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 3: his position's going to be. He's listed as a linebacker,

545
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:54,400
Speaker 3: but he's going to run in a four to four range.

546
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 3: That's going to get everyone excited. He's going to jump high,

547
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 3: he's going to test well. He's going to look great.

548
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,120
Speaker 3: But when you watch him on tape, he's not as

549
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:05,120
Speaker 3: instinctive and physical as most of the Nick Saban caliber

550
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 3: linebackers that he recruited were.

551
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 4: That's not what we see on tape.

552
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:10,399
Speaker 3: But what I do see when it turns into a

553
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 3: passing down is a really effective blitzer, a really good

554
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 3: cover man with great instincts in coverage and great ball skills.

555
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:20,399
Speaker 3: So what we might see is someone who plays first

556
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 3: and second down at linebacker, and then on third down

557
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 3: they either turn them loose off the edge as a rusher,

558
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:27,959
Speaker 3: you use them on blitzes, or you just sit them

559
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 3: in coverage and go man a man on some matchup

560
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 3: tight ends that you don't have reached havoc in the

561
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:35,479
Speaker 3: league over the last few years. So he's a unique

562
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 3: piece who's going to be a great tester. You just

563
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 3: have to figure out where you want to play him.

564
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,120
Speaker 1: All right, we broke down a defensive side of the ball.

565
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 1: Now let's flip to the offense and the guys that

566
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 1: maybe are going to keep some of these defenders up

567
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 1: at night.

568
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:51,120
Speaker 3: Basically, okay, so Ben shall tooton running back from Virginia Tech.

569
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 3: I'm trying to figure out why this guy doesn't have

570
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 3: more buzz. I'm trying to figure out why people aren't

571
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 3: talking about him. I think you will be after the

572
00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 3: combine when he busts a four three forty and everyone says,

573
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 3: wait a minute, who's this guy. He's about five foot nine,

574
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 3: about two hundred and eight to two hundred and ten

575
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 3: pounds compact. You can see him here. He's got amazing

576
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 3: track speed. He's a track guy with breakaway speed. Anytime

577
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 3: you have that, it's exciting in a league. Right now

578
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 3: that the covete chunk plays, but he's going to jump

579
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:20,879
Speaker 3: thirty nine to forty inches as well. And then what

580
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 3: I think you're going to see him do is he's

581
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:24,639
Speaker 3: going to look good out in the drills as well.

582
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 3: So now that we have a running back class, so

583
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:28,920
Speaker 3: a very deep running back class, but it's time to

584
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:33,919
Speaker 3: start putting Baishall Tuton at maybe not the top of

585
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:37,919
Speaker 3: the class, but he needs more consideration. He needs more discussion.

586
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 3: And that's what the combine is about. It's about shining

587
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 3: a light on guys like this. We're going to be

588
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 3: starters in the league in the future.

589
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, six point three yards per carry for him last

590
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 1: season with the Hokies. All right, Now to the guys

591
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 1: clearing the lanes for running backs like Tuton armand Membo.

592
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 3: Look, I'm the son of an offensive line coach, and

593
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 3: so I wish my dad had this guy with the

594
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 3: Steelers or the Arizona Cardinals because this guy goes to work.

595
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 3: I love our Membo. He's three hundred and thirty pounds

596
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 3: at the combine and it's good weight. I mean his

597
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 3: lean mass numbers. When they put him in the Dexas scan.

598
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 3: These teams are going to freak out when they see

599
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 3: his lean mass, his true power potential. He plays with

600
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 3: great hands, excellent technique, fantastic body control.

601
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:23,719
Speaker 4: I think you're going to see all of this on display.

602
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 3: He didn't do anything at the Combine because he was

603
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 3: or rather at the Senior Bowl because he was sick.

604
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 3: But at the Combine, we're going to see him move.

605
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 3: We're going to see what he looks like from a

606
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 3: body control standpoint, and look at not playing football, but

607
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 3: we can see what he kind of looks like in

608
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 3: terms of going through some of the important drills. Some

609
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 3: of them I don't get much out of, but there

610
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 3: are some that I get a lot out of. And

611
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 3: I think there's going to be some coaches in general

612
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 3: managers who see certain things on the field that they've

613
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 3: already seen on tape and they go, yeah, this is

614
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 3: our guy. This is a guy who's going to get

615
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 3: pushed up potentially into the top twelve by the time

616
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 3: the combine's over.

617
00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 1: Nice offensive lineman b roll around draft season and what's

618
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 1: what we call when we should show those plays like that?

619
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 1: You want to see a guy manhandle a few guys.

620
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 1: You saw it right there with Membo Lanzerline. We're gonna

621
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 1: be leaning on you for the next couple of months

622

00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,440

657
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,720

Speaker 1: Weish helping us to get ready for tomorrow's game.

659
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 8: Well, we're certainly excited for Saturday's game, but the culmination

660
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 8: of the week is a two day career fair. Over

661
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 8: one hundred companies have shown up here to New Orleans.

662
00:32:56,560 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 8: We got sixty HBCUs just under that total, wouldn't parents. Man,

663
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 8: I saw some players during the week fully padded, ready

664
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 8: to go. They were suited and booted today.

665
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 9: Well, Mike, you know, Bucky and I have been here

666
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 9: for from the origin to now four years for this

667
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 9: whole career fair in the game.

668
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 1: And I think the first year.

669
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 2: People were very curious, is this a gimmick?

670
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 1: Is it going to last?

671
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 9: It has evolved now to a very high caliber of

672
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,719
Speaker 9: student being sent here and to the point where these

673
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 9: players understand we have to come suited and booted because

674
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 9: this is a business trip.

675
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:25,959
Speaker 2: Like you know, look at my gear compared to yours.

676
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 1: Steven was also a speaker today.

677
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 8: I'm telling you how many students came up to me saying,

678
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 8: I know Steve wycheck O, so do I. There is

679
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 8: a game to be played here. We got two talented quarterbacks,

680
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 8: actually more than that. But the guys that really stood

681
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 8: out this week Miles Crowley, Eric Phoenix, who I did

682
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 8: see in a suit.

683
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 1: He looked pretty slim. They're going to have their hands

684
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 1: full against those defenses.

685
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 10: Absolutely, And the guy that has been the best player

686
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:47,800
Speaker 10: on the field has been Elijah Williams from Morgan State,

687
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 10: MIAG Defensive Player of the Year.

688
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 4: He's been unblockable the entire week.

689
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 10: But it's not only his ability to stay unblocked, the

690
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 10: splash plays that he's created. When we talk about this

691
00:33:57,840 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 10: and the career for those things just being the ault

692
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 10: job interview, he certainly has aced a.

693
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 4: Test as one of the best players in attended.

694
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 9: Yeah, Bingley, We're hoping that the team can block him

695
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:08,440
Speaker 9: to keep him off the quarterbacks and we can.

696
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 5: Get some points.

697
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 9: But look the player who kicked things off at the

698
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 9: HBCU combine, Joaquin Davis, the sixty four wide receiver from

699
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 9: North Carolina Central. He's got all the scouts writing his

700
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:19,359
Speaker 9: stuff down, going back and checking his film. I want

701
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 9: to see if he can make plays because he's gonna

702
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 9: be playing for Team Gay through THEA team going up

703
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 9: against Team Robinson. Loaded in the secondary Kendall Bowler from

704
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 9: Florida A and m rob McDaniel, the player who most

705
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 9: scouts say is most draftable out of Jackson State. Those

706
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 9: types of players as well as cornerback the All Americans

707
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,439
Speaker 9: James Burgess. Let's see if the guy who wants talking

708
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:41,880
Speaker 9: about can handle it on the field against those studs.

709
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:43,720
Speaker 8: At the end of the day, all thirty two teams

710
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 8: were represented here this week down in New Orleans. We

711
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 8: want to see some talent out on the football field.

712
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:50,799
Speaker 8: We will see that on Saturday. You do not want

713
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:52,800
Speaker 8: to miskickoff. All three of us ready to rock and

714
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:55,360
Speaker 8: roll with Charles Davis. We got you covered. On NFL

715
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:56,839
Speaker 8: Network at Flour Eastern.

716
00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 1: Travis Kelcey, much like his brother did a times, taking

717
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:04,359
Speaker 1: time after the season, after the season to mow his

718
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 1: future and decide what he is going to do. In

719
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 1: the meantime, the Chiefs have a decision to make. It

720
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 1: seems on Travis Kelsey he's got a bonus coming out.

721
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 1: They can always move that back and give him more

722
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 1: time to decide. But Adam Rank is here to talk

723
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 1: about the possibility of cutting Travis kelce I guess this

724
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:25,919
Speaker 1: is what I'm seeing here in the rundown. It would

725
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 1: save seventeen point three million million against the cap if

726
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:31,840
Speaker 1: they cut. I don't think they're going to cut Travis

727
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 1: kelce But what say you, Adam Rank?

728
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 2: I can't imagine it. I mean, like the NFL had

729
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:38,840
Speaker 2: I mean, we saw Aaron Rodgers wearing number eight for

730
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:41,920
Speaker 2: the Jets. We've seen Jerry Rice wear number nineteen for

731
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 2: the Denver Broncos. But it wouldn't seem really strange to

732
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 2: see Travis kelce in any other uniform but that of

733
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:51,399
Speaker 2: the Kansas City Chiefs. And honestly, how am I going

734
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:54,319
Speaker 2: to explain it to my nine year old if he's

735
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:56,719
Speaker 2: not with the team anymore, and she's got to start

736
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:58,839
Speaker 2: rooting for somebody out They're not going to I don't

737
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:01,400
Speaker 2: want to have that conversation. I'm not ready for that yet.

738
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 2: And honestly, like Travis Kelce, I believe doesn't get paid

739
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 2: for what he does during the regular season. It's what

740
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:11,840
Speaker 2: he does during the three games in January and February.

741
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,440
Speaker 2: He was a huge part of the Chiefs run to

742
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:17,360
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. I think that these cop numbers are

743
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:20,279
Speaker 2: always fun. It's like a buzz speed article. It's something

744
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:22,360
Speaker 2: for us to get excited about, Like, what is this

745
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 2: he's gonna get They're going to know. Yeah, they'll extend it,

746
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:28,399
Speaker 2: they'll find a way. If he plays football next year,

747
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 2: it's for the Kansas City Chiefs.

748
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:32,560
Speaker 1: You've got your daughter's art behind you. I've got my

749
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 1: daughter's art behind me. My daughter did draw a picture

750
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:39,719
Speaker 1: just randomly today of Travis Kelce that I would have

751
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:42,479
Speaker 1: held up right now, but her grandfather took it home

752
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 1: with him. Oh, to hang up somewhere. I'm sure to

753
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 1: make himself look like he's the proud grandfather. When I

754
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 1: could have put it right here anyway. Yeah, you're talking

755
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 1: about what it means to the kids, and we don't

756
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 1: want to have that conversation just yet. So Chiefs, you know,

757
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:57,879
Speaker 1: don't do anything crazy. Ravens Mark Andrews. Yeah, it didn't

758
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:00,760
Speaker 1: end well this season for Mark Andrews. The numbers weren't

759
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:03,759
Speaker 1: the same. Obviously still a key part of what they do.

760
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:05,239
Speaker 1: I think they're in Baltimore.

761
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:07,840
Speaker 2: Well, I think that when you look at the season

762
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 2: to total on a total basis, like, yeah, they weren't

763
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 2: the season totals that you expected. But he obviously was

764
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 2: coming off an injury in the early part of the

765
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:19,280
Speaker 2: year and everybody remembers Isaiah Likely going out there killing

766
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 2: it in Week one and be like, oh my gosh,

767
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,800
Speaker 2: they don't even need Mark Andrews anymore. But then during

768
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:27,759
Speaker 2: the big stretch of the regular season, Mark Andrews was

769
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:30,400
Speaker 2: the guy. He was the dude scoring all the touchdowns.

770
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 2: He's a huge part of this offense, much like Travis Kelsey.

771
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 2: I'm not going to say that he's a Kirkland version

772
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 2: of Travis Kelcey, but he's just as important to this

773
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:42,560
Speaker 2: Ravens offense and their success. And again, I think they

774
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:44,719
Speaker 2: will find a way to make sure that he is

775
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:46,879
Speaker 2: a member of the Ravens next year. I would find

776
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 2: it hard to believe or hard to stomach to see

777
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 2: him playing for anybody else. I'm sure Lamar Jackson feels

778
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:54,879
Speaker 2: the same way. So again, if Mark Jackson is playing

779
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:56,840
Speaker 2: football next year, I assume it's going to be for

780
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:57,760
Speaker 2: the Baltimore Ravens.

781
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you on these two. Just can't see

782
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:02,760
Speaker 1: these guys playing anywhere else. If Travis Kelsey does decide

783
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:05,320
Speaker 1: to play, Mark Andrews is certainly going to continue to play.

784
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 1: So yeah, in Baltimore makes the most sense. Now, let's

785
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:09,799
Speaker 1: get to the point where we can go. Now we

786
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:12,239
Speaker 1: can see the team moving on. Because we talked about

787
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 1: a cap saving this seventeen point three million, eleven million,

788
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:18,520
Speaker 1: how about thirty million saved against the cap? If the

789
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:21,759
Speaker 1: Jets cut DeVante Adams, yeah, he's gone, Like he's not

790
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:22,800
Speaker 1: gonna be in New York anymore.

791
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 2: He's gonna be looking for anything. Really, this is perfect

792
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:28,319
Speaker 2: for him. And honestly, like I still believe that he's

793
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:29,920
Speaker 2: got a lot of juice left in him. And if

794
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:32,760
Speaker 2: you're Devonte Adams and you're trying to find a situation

795
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 2: that works the best for you, where that maybe money

796
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 2: isn't the biggest factor, your biggest motivation. I look at

797
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:40,839
Speaker 2: the two teams that were in the NFC Championship Game

798
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 2: this season. You look at the Lions, you look at

799
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 2: the Washington Commanders. Both of them could use a player

800
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:50,719
Speaker 2: like DeVonta Adams, especially Washington. So if I'm the Commanders

801
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 2: right now, the moment that he's released, I would be

802
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 2: making a call because I think he could be a

803
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:58,200
Speaker 2: huge asset. You pair them out there with Terry McLaurin.

804
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 2: Now you've got something for Jayden Daniels going into year two.

805
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:03,959
Speaker 2: I think there's gonna be a lot of there's gonna

806
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:06,279
Speaker 2: be a lot of people looking at Devanta Adams, even

807
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 2: in a free agent class that could possibly include T Higgins.

808
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:12,560
Speaker 2: But you got Chris Godwin who will be available, You

809
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:16,919
Speaker 2: got Stefan Diggs, Amari Cooper. I'm Devanta Adams might be

810
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 2: the most attractive outside of T Higgins.

811
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:22,880
Speaker 1: Just check to your computer. Make sure that wasn't the email,

812
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 1: the news alert that Devanta Adams had just been been cut.

813
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:28,480
Speaker 1: There was that you that I just heard in my ear.

814
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure it was your computer. I'm trying to

815
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:31,399
Speaker 1: have some fun here rank with you.

816
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:35,400
Speaker 4: But what I'm no, I'm joking.

817
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:38,400
Speaker 1: I heard an email come across as you were talking.

818
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 1: I was trying to.

819
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:42,239
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, this is a working set, Garafallo. I can't

820
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:42,560
Speaker 2: help it.

821
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:46,319
Speaker 1: How many computers you got there. I figure you're like

822
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:48,640
Speaker 1: a day trader. You got like four of them going.

823
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:52,239
Speaker 2: I got four, I got I got some soccer algorithms

824
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:54,440
Speaker 2: going over here. I've got a huge tournament this weekend.

825
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 2: So there's a lot of things going up here in

826
00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:57,440
Speaker 2: the home office.

827
00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:00,960
Speaker 1: Not just all right, well some it's got to be

828
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:04,239
Speaker 1: the numbers on Joey Bosa, who we thought maybe last

829
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:05,800
Speaker 1: year we get cut and then he and the Chargers

830
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:08,560
Speaker 1: beat the clock to renegotiate to keep them there. Twenty

831
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 1: five point four against the Caps saved if they cut

832
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:11,840
Speaker 1: Joey Bosa.

833
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:15,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a situation where obviously he's had a

834
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 2: long career with the LA Chargers and there's a lot

835
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:21,160
Speaker 2: of nostalgy there. But Jim Harbaugh, Jim Harbaugh is not

836
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 2: about that. Jim Harbaugh wants to go out there and

837
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 2: wain and change the culture of the Los Angeles Chargers.

838
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:29,360
Speaker 2: Obviously getting to the playoffs this season was a huge step,

839
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:31,400
Speaker 2: but he wants to go Further, I think there's a

840
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:33,760
Speaker 2: possibility he does get cut and one of those teams

841
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 2: that's looking for help defensively, I think Joey Bosa makes

842
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:38,719
Speaker 2: a lot of sense for them.

843
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:42,360
Speaker 1: I feel like now it's like when a teacher gets interrupted.

844
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:45,239
Speaker 1: What couldn't wait? Now, you must share with us what

845
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:48,160
Speaker 1: the latest email was. What couldn't wait until the end

846
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 1: of class?

847
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:48,680
Speaker 5: Here?

848
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:51,439
Speaker 2: Adam right, what couldn't wait? It's said that we need

849
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 2: two people for field maintenance for our team, Team Fearless,

850
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:58,359
Speaker 2: which was named after the Taylor Swift song Fearless, which

851
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:02,240
Speaker 2: is why Travis Kelsey leave the Chiefs. This is why

852
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 2: he's got to stay with that team. Okay, so I'm sorry.

853
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:06,880
Speaker 2: There's a lot of important information going on.

854
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:10,000
Speaker 1: We asked aj Brown yesterday how long he would take

855
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 1: off before he started working toward next season. He said, yeah,

856
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:14,600
Speaker 1: give me a couple of weeks. Lane Johnson, on the

857
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 1: other hand, that's three p fifteen in the bar right there.

858
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:18,719
Speaker 1: It feels like a late day for Lane. I guess

859
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:20,480
Speaker 1: he's working his way back into him. That is a

860
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:23,640
Speaker 1: deep squat there. You gotta love the process if you

861
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:27,920
Speaker 1: want to be great, like Lane Johnson elsewhere with the Eagles.

862
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 1: So this was found by Amy Randabarger, fellow Lesal graduate.

863
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:35,880
Speaker 1: What's up explorer. This note said, I found this jacket

864
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 1: at the last Super Bowl. I intentionally left it here,

865
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:41,759
Speaker 1: So don't return this. I intentionally left it. You hold

866
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 1: on to it, whoever finds it, and then the next

867
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:46,440
Speaker 1: Super Bowl parade leave it for the next sort of

868
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:48,600
Speaker 1: pay it forward thing here from the Eagles. You know,

869
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 1: his fan base gets a lot of flack, but Rank

870
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 1: this is pretty awesome.

871
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:56,239
Speaker 2: No, it is pretty cool. It's one of the things

872
00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:59,400
Speaker 2: that's great about sports is that the common bond with

873
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:02,360
Speaker 2: everybody under those parades and all that stuff is always

874
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:04,319
Speaker 2: a lot of fun. So I now growing up going

875
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:07,759
Speaker 2: to NBA championship parades all the time, having stuff like

876
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 2: that and having little momentos like that. That's pretty cool.

877
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:11,400
Speaker 2: So Paul done Eagles fans.

878
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:14,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was found on a light post that she thought, well,

879
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:16,880
Speaker 1: somebody left this behind. It said no, no, no, don't return it.

880
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 1: Oh keep it, so Amy, take good care of it.
