1 00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:06,440 Speaker 1: And now move the sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks. 2 00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:10,560 Speaker 1: What's going on everybody, d J Bucky here, moved the sticks. Uh, 3 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:14,040 Speaker 1: we have preseason football game number one in the books. 4 00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:18,080 Speaker 1: Buck College Camp is rolling. It's it's football season, man, 5 00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:21,000 Speaker 1: it is officially football season. The Hall of Fame game 6 00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:24,200 Speaker 1: certainly kicked it off. It was exciting to see awesome football. 7 00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:26,759 Speaker 1: But to hear the commentated is going crazy over playing 8 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,160 Speaker 1: Gabet I was like, you know, it's the first preseason game, right, 9 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,760 Speaker 1: let's let's be easy. But he played well. Uh. It 10 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:34,480 Speaker 1: was just exciting to see some of the young guys, 11 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:36,440 Speaker 1: some of the guys that a lot of times the 12 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,080 Speaker 1: back into the roster guys, the bubble guys, the frenzy guys, 13 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:41,280 Speaker 1: they get all the bulk of the playing time that 14 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,199 Speaker 1: first preseason, and particularly when you have five on the schedule, 15 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:46,519 Speaker 1: it allows you to really evaluate those guys. And I 16 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:48,600 Speaker 1: think some of those guys that we saw play in 17 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:50,519 Speaker 1: the second and third quarter, and even some of the 18 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:51,920 Speaker 1: guys that played early in the four quarter, we have 19 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:53,640 Speaker 1: an opportunity to make those rosters. Yeah, that it was 20 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:55,600 Speaker 1: fun just to have a football game on TV. And 21 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 1: I'll talk about that in just in just a minute 22 00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 1: as well some other things that I thought I saw 23 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 1: last night. But and uh, we got some fun stuff 24 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 1: on the episode today, Bucky. We're gonna kind of go 25 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 1: through training camp tours we've both been out and about 26 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,120 Speaker 1: what we've seen, what we've heard. We'll get into that 27 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:10,480 Speaker 1: on the on the tail end of the episode, which 28 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 1: is this is gonna be a heavy NFL episode. We've 29 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:13,960 Speaker 1: done a little bit of college football recently, but this 30 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 1: is gonna be all NFL. But the very end of it, 31 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,759 Speaker 1: we had so much good content from those Pack twelve 32 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 1: media days we couldn't put at all on that one podcast. 33 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 1: So we had some some interesting characters and some interesting 34 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 1: stories we're able to gather. So at the end of 35 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 1: this episode, we're gonna air just a snippet of our 36 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,040 Speaker 1: conversation with Harrison Phillips, a defensive lineman from Stanford who 37 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 1: trust me. Stick around for it, you'll enjoy it. He 38 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 1: was a beauty. He was a beauty. I think the 39 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,679 Speaker 1: big thing about Harrison Phillips outstanding wrestler' about a dominant 40 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,199 Speaker 1: player they leverage. You know how we love multi spar 41 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 1: players when we're scouting that is going to help him 42 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 1: a lot when he comes down to the evaluation process. 43 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: He's got a great story about his wrestling to You're 44 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 1: gonna enjoy that at the end of the episode here, 45 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 1: but Buck, first of all, before we get to our 46 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: camp tour, anything else stand out to you from that game. 47 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 1: I mean, Kellen Moore was made for the preseason and 48 00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 1: looked Blaine Gabbett. You talked about all the love he got. 49 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 1: You're gonna see a lot of simple looks out there 50 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 1: on the ball out of your hand, and you really 51 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 1: should be successful at that. I mean, it's a it's 52 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 1: a bigger indictment if you can't play well the first 53 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,799 Speaker 1: two preseason games. And it's a problem because this is 54 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 1: before you're here. Defense coordinators say that they game plan 55 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 1: so you get a lot of vanilla looks. We won't 56 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 1: see a lot of disguise. It is simple simon football 57 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,240 Speaker 1: for quarterback. And so Kellen Moore is really made for 58 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 1: the preseason. But I will say this about Blaying Gabber. 59 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:24,800 Speaker 1: He certainly look after let it. The arm talent was 60 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 1: better and he was a little firmer in the pocket 61 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: than he has shown at time. We'll continue to monitors 62 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 1: progress and see because you're the Arizona Cardinals. At some 63 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 1: point you have to begin to think about the future. 64 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:39,239 Speaker 1: In the future quarterback after Carson Palmer is playing geb 65 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 1: the guy is someone on the roscat or are they 66 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: gonna have to look to the draft to find that 67 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 1: quarterback in the future. My most interesting guy from this 68 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:50,360 Speaker 1: game is when you look at last year's draft for 69 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 1: the Cowboys. A lot was made about Jalen Smith taking 70 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 1: the chance on him knowing knowing they weren't gonna get 71 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 1: anything out of him last year, but with the thought 72 00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: in mind this could be a long term playoff payoff, 73 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,359 Speaker 1: so they go in draft. Rico gathers in that same 74 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 1: draft basketball player at a Baylor knowing that you're not 75 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,839 Speaker 1: gonna get early returns from him. Maybe two years, maybe 76 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:10,639 Speaker 1: three years, you don't know, but you've got a project 77 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,639 Speaker 1: that that's worth developing. This is just year two, Bucky 78 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 1: for a basketball player. Looked, aren't comfortable to me in 79 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: the game last night. Look very very comfortable with your 80 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 1: ability to be able to kind of have that that 81 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 1: that spatial to wearing his the body control. Those basketball 82 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 1: players just have a way of being able to post up. 83 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 1: He certainly looked good as a second year player making 84 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 1: the transition. He looks comfortable. We've read the reports of 85 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 1: him getting in fight, so he's feisty enough. He's a 86 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: little more physical than maybe some of the basketball players 87 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: that make that move. He has really given them something 88 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 1: that they really haven't had. They haven't been able to 89 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 1: find a number two tight end to really compliment Jason 90 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 1: Winton when they were hoping it's gonna years ago when 91 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 1: they had Martell has been and they can never get 92 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 1: both of those guys on the field. But for Dallas, 93 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: the next thing for their offense is to be able 94 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: to evolve to being able to have both tight ends 95 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 1: on the field. It really will help in the run 96 00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: game with Ezekiel Elliott being able to create that extra game, 97 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 1: and so if they can find someone that can help 98 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 1: them at tight end, it'd be a bonus. The thing 99 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 1: that I want to point Jayley Smiths looked really good. 100 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 1: And I know it's just pre game warm ups and 101 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 1: him moving around and we've seen some of the clips 102 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: and stuff from him moving around the practice. If he's 103 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 1: able to be just a hint of what he was 104 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,839 Speaker 1: in Notre Dame for that defense, he becomes one of 105 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 1: their best players right away because he is an instinctive 106 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 1: ball player who can't run it. Oh man, he gives 107 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 1: them something that man, they really really need to play 108 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: a last as John Lee. So I'm not gonna would 109 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,159 Speaker 1: hope that he has an opportunity to get back on 110 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 1: the field and be the player that he was. Yeah, 111 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 1: todb a woozier guy that we talked to, and then 112 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 1: he showed he should have picked six um but found 113 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: himself in good position. Gave up a couple of catches, 114 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 1: but he was right where he needed to be, always 115 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 1: in phase, and I thought he looked, uh, he looked 116 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 1: strong last night on the Arizona side. We talked about 117 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,160 Speaker 1: it in one of our breakout videos that we just did, 118 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 1: which you can check out. By the way, we're going 119 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 1: to Bucky's giving you the uh the breakout players to 120 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 1: watch in and when we're talking about the Cardinals. Not 121 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 1: to give it away, but you went with a guy 122 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,600 Speaker 1: and Kim Ditch who we saw some flashes from last night. 123 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 1: I know the box score is not all that sexy, 124 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 1: but you could see that explosiveness to get you excited. Yeah, 125 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 1: you can't see the explosive you can see the way 126 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:11,600 Speaker 1: he was able to own the point of attack. And 127 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: for the Arizona court who want to play on the 128 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,280 Speaker 1: other side of the ball, particularly on their front line, 129 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,480 Speaker 1: he is exactly what they're looking for. His size, his 130 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 1: talent is beginning to come on as he continued to 131 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 1: lock in. He has pro bowl potential and talent. Let's 132 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 1: just see if he can uncover that unlocked that allowed 133 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,039 Speaker 1: him to really hunt behind him. All right, So we've 134 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 1: both been making the rounds on training camps, Buck, and 135 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 1: and these are long, long days and sometimes as as 136 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 1: I know, as I get older, Bucky, the words are 137 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 1: hard to find when you've been on for a long 138 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 1: period of time. And every now and then you're gonna 139 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: have a slip up. Uh, sometimes you can. You can 140 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: get away with it. People don't notice. And then you 141 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: do what I did the other day, and uh and 142 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 1: yeah it does get noticed. Enough about all these young 143 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,479 Speaker 1: guys are gonna trying and fart their way or fight 144 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 1: their way onto the field here, so you have it, Buck, 145 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 1: I mean, look, some guys just gotta fart their way 146 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 1: on the field sometimes sometimes sometimes a little when you slip, 147 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 1: but that's okay. It happens to the best of us. 148 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 1: We all have our mistakes. I am hoping that I 149 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: don't don't have one. I was just glad it wasn't 150 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:11,720 Speaker 1: a bad word. You know, look, farts, Okay, get away 151 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: with that.

That's one for us. 172 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 1: Where'd you go back? What you see? I went to 173 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 1: Green Bay and I went to the Minnesota Vikings. When 174 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 1: I went to green Bay, I was really excited because 175 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 1: I wanted to see a couple of different things when 176 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 1: I'm in to I was fascinated by this offense and 177 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 1: what they would continue to evolve to with time. Roun 178 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: Tim Montgomery making a transition from wide receiver to running back, 179 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 1: and he is as good as advertised the stuff that 180 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 1: we've heard about him kind of growing into that position. 181 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 1: You see, and you also see the excitement when you 182 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 1: look at um the way they're deploying him in the 183 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 1: opposition behind Aaron Rodgers out wide as a number one receiver, 184 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 1: being able to really move him around. But then when 185 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 1: you add the pieces that they added it tight end 186 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 1: Lance Kendricks and Martellis Bennett. I forgot about Kendricks. You know. 187 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy talked about they want to be able to 188 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 1: run the football, have balanced. If they can get back 189 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 1: to running football, particularly down the stretch, is going to 190 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,119 Speaker 1: allow their offense to be dangerous. Then when you flip 191 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 1: on the other side of the ball. On defense, young 192 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 1: cornerback Kevin King being able to step up. He's been 193 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: going with the ones. They have been asking Aaron Rodgers 194 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 1: to throw at him and get him ready, but he 195 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 1: has been really, really good in coverage. They have a 196 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 1: lot of talented players. They have the pieces that you 197 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 1: really like to see at why receiver it, defensive back 198 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 1: Quhen Rollins is beginning to come on. This is a 199 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: team that I think is primed to make a run. 200 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 1: They still need to be a little bit better on defense, 201 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 1: but that offense is going to be so good that 202 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 1: it's gonna take thirty points to beat the Green Bay 203 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,200 Speaker 1: package because offinsially, I think they can score twenty eight 204 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 1: points a game without really putting in a full effort 205 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 1: in terms of trying to push the pace. All right, 206 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 1: give me the early scouting report, um, because he was 207 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 1: one of our favorite guys coming through here in Jamal 208 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 1: Williams Jamal ways is good. He really has shown up. 209 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,079 Speaker 1: He has been a nice, nice running back for them. 210 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 1: He has been able to kind of get in the mix. 211 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 1: Has had some rest with Number one' physical learning it, 212 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,319 Speaker 1: understanding and processing it. But really, when you talk to 213 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,440 Speaker 1: the Packers people, they really love Time Montgomery and what 214 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,320 Speaker 1: he is being able to do. He is going to 215 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,559 Speaker 1: be the number one. But look with Williams and some 216 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,560 Speaker 1: of those other guys that rotate through and be uh 217 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:12,239 Speaker 1: nice contributors to that offense. I'd like it. They're defensively 218 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,560 Speaker 1: any other any other guys Josh Jones second round pick man, 219 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:17,959 Speaker 1: Josh Jones. How about this, You're gonna laugh. Josh Jones 220 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:19,719 Speaker 1: is playing a little inside linebacker for them, and some 221 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:21,959 Speaker 1: of their sub packages they kind of use them a 222 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 1: little bit like the Dion Buchanan experiment. They're kind of 223 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 1: built similar in Arizona. His man. When you talk to 224 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 1: the guys Mike Daniels and some of the other guys 225 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:31,839 Speaker 1: that have been around that team for a long time, 226 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 1: Morgan Burnett, when they talk about Josh Jones, they talk 227 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,440 Speaker 1: about him being a little different. He has come in 228 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 1: very quiet, but he carries a big stick, physical honory, 229 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 1: picking up the defense, learning multiple positions. He's one of 230 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 1: the guys keep your eye on as a defensive rookie 231 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 1: of D candidate because he's gonna give them a lot 232 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 1: of different Um, he's gonna be a stat stuffer in 233 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 1: terms of the way he contributes in a variety of ways. 234 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:54,719 Speaker 1: I like it. That's good stuff there, all right, Now 235 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 1: we got I'll go through one of the teams I 236 00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 1: went through. I went to. The first stop for me 237 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 1: was the Eagles, so a lot of you know guys, 238 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 1: I still know they're having worked there. And I gotta 239 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 1: tell you about the ball barely hit the ground with 240 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:08,720 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz. I expect to see in practice totally dialed 241 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 1: in al Sean Jeffrey just contorting his body and making 242 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,080 Speaker 1: the same crazy catch as he always does. Um. I know, 243 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 1: I think people are worried. He's with his shoulder and 244 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,440 Speaker 1: he's missed like three or fourth. Look, they're putting him 245 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 1: on ice. They know they saw plenty. They're good to go, 246 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 1: no need. He's been good all off. You don't need 247 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 1: to see a whole lot of him in the preseason. 248 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,319 Speaker 1: So don't freak out if you're if, if you're in 249 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,720 Speaker 1: fantasy football, if you're a fan of the Eagles, He's 250 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 1: gonna be just fine. And Tori Smith they told me 251 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,680 Speaker 1: all throughout the offseason, barely dropped the football, caught it 252 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 1: really well. The day I was there, he got on 253 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 1: top of coverage, repeatedly tracked the ball easy, didn't have 254 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 1: any drops. The uh you know, the flip side of 255 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,320 Speaker 1: a corner is a legit concern for this football team. 256 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,560 Speaker 1: At the receiver position. I think they're in great shape. 257 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,840 Speaker 1: Nelson Aghilar has had a total rebirth. He's in the slot. 258 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 1: He's gonna live in the slot. He's gonna be there 259 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,080 Speaker 1: slot receiver. I'll be shocked if he's not. I don't 260 00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 1: know what that means for For Jordan Matthews, I think, 261 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 1: like to be honest, I think athletic, he's a little 262 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 1: more dynamic. It's not a lot more dynamic. And last 263 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,440 Speaker 1: year remember last year against the Seahawks, he got he 264 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,160 Speaker 1: just turned Richard Sherman inside out. We dropped the ball. 265 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 1: Getting separation was not his issue. Just being able to finish, 266 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 1: and he was. He was doing a nice job and 267 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,439 Speaker 1: it sounds like he's really focused. And I think that's 268 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 1: kind of a bigger discussion there. Mac Hollins, by the way, 269 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 1: another rookie that he's gonna be really good on special teams, 270 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,079 Speaker 1: could be a pro bowler on special teams. I think 271 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 1: he's he could be kind of like Cassie mos Good 272 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 1: was better receiver, thank Cassim was, but um to me, 273 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 1: the interesting thing is when you have a guy like 274 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 1: like last year, really Nelson Aghlas, you're trying to force 275 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,200 Speaker 1: him to be a two. You really don't have a one. 276 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 1: Maybe he's even trying to be the lead. Now you 277 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 1: come in and say, look your number three. Okay. It 278 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 1: just puts everybody right in the right pecking the right 279 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 1: pecking what it releases some of that pressure I think 280 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 1: on these guys, and it really matters. I mean, you 281 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,439 Speaker 1: have to be positioned in the right role to have success. 282 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 1: And for him, he's not really comfortable being a lead horse. 283 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 1: He's a guy that is really more comfortable being kind 284 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:04,560 Speaker 1: of in the pack. You put him in number three, 285 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,560 Speaker 1: I think you have a lot more success with him 286 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:08,320 Speaker 1: than you have an out of the place. So you've 287 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 1: got some other guys rolling through their Sheldon Gibson their 288 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 1: fifth round pick. He struggled to catch the ball kind 289 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:17,080 Speaker 1: of throughout camp. Greg Ward was my sleeper, the quarterback 290 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,320 Speaker 1: from Houston, Bucky. They've used him in the slot. Some 291 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: This is one of those ones where it's gonna be 292 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 1: a tough decision for them. He could show out in 293 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 1: the preseason, you might have difficulty, uh sneaking him down. 294 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 1: Another guy who I was not familiar with at all, 295 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,200 Speaker 1: and it was one of those asked around, who the 296 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,319 Speaker 1: heck is Number eighty four Marcus Johnson who was from 297 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,959 Speaker 1: Texas who had had some injuries there. This is second 298 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 1: year for him. He was outstanding. I mean this team 299 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 1: last year where they were receiver wise to where they 300 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 1: are this year. Uh, They're gonna end up either trading 301 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 1: or cutting some pretty good players. I mean they have to. 302 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 1: I mean the reports have been glowing about their wide 303 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:52,840 Speaker 1: receivers and the things that those guys have been doing. 304 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: You talked about Nelson and aglash one, the ability to 305 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 1: really separate name. He's finishing the play alshon, Jeffrey Tory, 306 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 1: Smith and Carson went to talk about the type a 307 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 1: really digging into it, being the grun to getting everyone 308 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 1: on the same page. It's working out for the Philadelphia Eagles. 309 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,319 Speaker 1: They expanded a topic because they believed he used the 310 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 1: franchise quarterback right now. The returns are promising because he 311 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 1: has really taken the position and taking the leadership medal 312 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 1: and giving them exactly what they expect. Zach Ertz again, 313 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,320 Speaker 1: another member of this offense. Offensive line looks good. I 314 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 1: think they're gonna score a bunch of points. Now. The 315 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 1: question to me is on the defensive side of the ball, 316 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 1: can this defensive front that's very gifted, can they get 317 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 1: home before they get exposed on the outside. They're good 318 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 1: at safety, Malcolm Jenkins and McLeod Roddy McLeod there, that's 319 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 1: a solid duo right there at the corner position. Man, 320 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 1: they got turned inside out that the days I was there. 321 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,640 Speaker 1: Jalen Mills, I think is okay. Um Sidney Jones obviously 322 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 1: the long term answer, but I don't know when we'll 323 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 1: see him, if we'll see him this year coming off 324 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,560 Speaker 1: the Achilles Russell Douglas was a little bit of roller 325 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,440 Speaker 1: coaster up and down, as you'd expect with the rookie, 326 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 1: but it's gonna be some of them when you're trying 327 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 1: to bring in so many young players into playing in 328 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:57,559 Speaker 1: the back end. The good thing about Jim Sports he 329 00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,680 Speaker 1: keeps its simple um and they're going to be a 330 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 1: team that maybe has the benefit of being able to 331 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:03,439 Speaker 1: play from a head. So when you play from a head, 332 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,720 Speaker 1: you eliminate having to worry about the run game, and 333 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 1: now you can focus your efforts on playing zone and 334 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 1: really defend. In the past, that might be better for 335 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:13,559 Speaker 1: them as a young defensive squad. I thought an interesting thing. 336 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw Twitter where Fletcher Cox 337 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 1: caught some punts and now in the program the media guy, 338 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 1: he wants to be referred to as an athlete, as 339 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 1: an inside It was interesting thing though, was the day 340 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 1: I was there, Timmy Jerning out played Fletcher So but look, 341 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 1: I will give you credit because you said Timmy Journey 342 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 1: again going there was going to help him a lot. 343 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 1: He has the buzz. Yes, the buzz is legit. We'll 344 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:40,640 Speaker 1: see if he can carry it over, stay healthy and 345 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 1: have a big year. Derek Barnett solid um. I don't know, 346 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 1: you know how much he's gonna have to do. I 347 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 1: imagine you'll probably just see him on sub get out 348 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 1: there and rush a little bit. But Chris Long looks 349 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:51,080 Speaker 1: like he has a little bit left. I mean, this 350 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,600 Speaker 1: is a really really good front. Uh that they have 351 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 1: their linebacker, they're okay again, corner. This team will will 352 00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 1: go as far as these uh, these corners development take him, 353 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 1: mar what do you got? We've debated before, but are 354 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 1: they solidly in the top three best lines in the 355 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 1: NFL offensive line defensive line? I think I think you 356 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,560 Speaker 1: can make a case that they are in the top 357 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 1: three of both, or they're in the discussion discussion on 358 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 1: both sides. I mean, they're pretty good upfront, They're they're 359 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 1: they're pretty good team upfront. The thing that is plague 360 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 1: them will be their ability to create explosive plays. Now 361 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 1: you have aushon Jeffrey, he can deliver that on the outside. 362 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 1: Before you didn't know who was going to give him 363 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 1: the splash. And then in the run game, how would 364 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 1: they use le Garry Blunt? How would he mix in 365 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 1: pump Ree and Darren Sprowls and all those other It's 366 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:38,040 Speaker 1: good to dominate the trenches in that division, for sure. Yeah. 367 00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 1: I mean the way I look at it, look Dallas 368 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 1: will see they have so many different players, so many 369 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 1: young players that gotta get rolling in. When you have 370 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 1: they're gonna have two new starters on the offensive line, 371 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,840 Speaker 1: you're gonna have three or four new guys in the secondary, 372 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 1: and those offensive line secondary bucket you know, it's a 373 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 1: communication position, so having chemistry and being able to communicate 374 00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 1: as a big deal there. So I could see the 375 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 1: Cowboys maybe starting a little slow and then get rolling 376 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 1: as the season goes along. But when I look at 377 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 1: the Giants and the Eagles, to me, it's can the 378 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:10,040 Speaker 1: Eagles front get past a very average, in my opinion, 379 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 1: Giants offensive line before the Giants impressive wide receivers can 380 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 1: expose some very average corners For Philadelphia, well, it happens 381 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 1: quick for those wide receivers in terms of exposing because 382 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 1: their team that really lives with the slant game, they 383 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 1: get the ball out quick. Eli Manning does a great 384 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 1: job of getting out to Odell Beckham, Strong Shepherd, and 385 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 1: then you have Brandon Marshall with Evan Ingram. They're going 386 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 1: to have to be able to man up and take 387 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 1: away some of those easy throwing lanes. And you're right, 388 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 1: if they go man to man, if they bliss them, 389 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 1: they're trying, Can those guys hold up? Is dicey? Yeah, 390 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 1: we'll see, We'll see how it all unfolds. It's gonna 391 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 1: be a fun division to follow. The Redskins. It just 392 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 1: feels like there's no pressure on them. They can just 393 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 1: go out there and play everything from Prior. Man, everything 394 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 1: you hear about Prior, he's about that. I mean, you 395 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 1: know the Jake Ruten is really raved about the size 396 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 1: that they now have on the outside with Prior and 397 00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 1: Josh Dawson. Bigger guys, guys that can do more, not 398 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 1: only the red zone, but in terms of blocking down 399 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 1: the field. They say they didn't really get that when 400 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,560 Speaker 1: they had Abody. He wasn't but what Jean was doing 401 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:07,880 Speaker 1: was flipping the field with it was a big play. 402 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,280 Speaker 1: So we'll see how that works out. They are intriguing team. 403 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:14,639 Speaker 1: But this is a very very tough division. Man, It's 404 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,200 Speaker 1: it's it's tough to pick him. I'm right now, I'm 405 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,359 Speaker 1: leaning towards the Giants and team talked about and beat 406 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 1: in that division, even though I know the Cowboys return everybody, 407 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:25,240 Speaker 1: and I expect Dad to be even better than he 408 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:26,879 Speaker 1: was as a rookie. I wouldn't be surprised if any 409 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:28,720 Speaker 1: of those three if Washington won the division, I would 410 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 1: legitimately be surprised any the other three wanted. I wouldn't be. 411 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 1: I look, we'll see, maybe maybe maybe Carson Wentz will 412 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:36,879 Speaker 1: come back to Earth. A little bit, but gosh, he 413 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:38,879 Speaker 1: looked good the day I was there. What about the 414 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,639 Speaker 1: Vikings buck Man in Minnesota Vikings, it is all about 415 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook. H Dalvin Cook. Everything that we talked about, 416 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,679 Speaker 1: everything that we initially thought about Dalvin Cook during the 417 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 1: process before the character things and all those um outside 418 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 1: issues kind of clouded his grade. He is everything uh 419 00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 1: as a young people say back in the day, he 420 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:00,080 Speaker 1: is all that in the bag of ships. When it 421 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,960 Speaker 1: comes to watching him like that, watching him right away, 422 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 1: you know that Letavis Murray is not going to be 423 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,640 Speaker 1: the starting running back for the Minnesota Vikings. Letavis Murray 424 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 1: may only touch the ball when Dalvin Cook is tired. 425 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,679 Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook is the guy that they are really building 426 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 1: that run game around. We saw him lined up behind 427 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,120 Speaker 1: Sam Bradford, to the side of Sam Bradford. We saw 428 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 1: him in the slot and out wide. They're doing a 429 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:24,560 Speaker 1: lot of different things to make sure that he touches 430 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:27,200 Speaker 1: the ball. I believe that he could be a one thousand, 431 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 1: five hundred guy, meaning one thousand rushing yards, five hundred 432 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:34,120 Speaker 1: receiving yards, and a boatload of touchdowns. He is terrific 433 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,320 Speaker 1: and he gives this offense a little juice that they 434 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 1: didn't have, and talking to some people, they were okay 435 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,639 Speaker 1: with Adrian Peterson kind of going down the road because 436 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:44,679 Speaker 1: now this offense can open up here they can do 437 00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:48,200 Speaker 1: a little more spread offense, pushing down and really make 438 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,639 Speaker 1: it fit with Sam Bradford does really really well. How 439 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,560 Speaker 1: about Treadwell, Give me Treadwell update. Treadwell was the number 440 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 1: three receiver? He is um playing X. When they go 441 00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 1: to their three wires, Diggs is already in. Adam Feeling 442 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 1: is already in. When they move inside, I think Diggs 443 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:08,119 Speaker 1: goes into the slot and then tred Will plays on 444 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,359 Speaker 1: the outside. Showed up. Mason plays down the field, big body, 445 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,120 Speaker 1: more comfortable, playing a little faster because he knows exactly 446 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:18,080 Speaker 1: what to do. They're still um hopeful and optimistic that 447 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,200 Speaker 1: he will be the guy that they thought he could be. 448 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,159 Speaker 1: I think he'll get on the field. How much of 449 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 1: a contribution Willie make in terms of being a big 450 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 1: time player. I don't know yet, but I like the 451 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,359 Speaker 1: field of this team because say what you want to 452 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:35,160 Speaker 1: about the offense, their defense is love jet. Anthony Barr 453 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,679 Speaker 1: is really coming on and striking. I was there the 454 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,639 Speaker 1: days Xavier Rhodes got paid and Xavier Rose is choking 455 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 1: people at the line of scrimmage. We haven't even talked 456 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,439 Speaker 1: about Trey Waynes, but Trey Waynes looked more comfortable. And 457 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 1: the one thing that they have is they have a 458 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 1: tremendous amount of depth up front. And your guy Daniel Hunter, 459 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,720 Speaker 1: oh yeah, he can go. Man. They are just blows. 460 00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:59,399 Speaker 1: Hunter and Golds and those guys being able to everything. Griffin, 461 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 1: those as being able to get after the quarterback is 462 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 1: really changed the game. They believe that they're gonna be 463 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 1: some really good plays to get cut. They go to 464 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,639 Speaker 1: other teams and have the ability to start. Yeah. No, 465 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:10,880 Speaker 1: it's that they have a very good roster that they've 466 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,480 Speaker 1: built up there. Anything uh is the rookie is is 467 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,160 Speaker 1: elf line, pat elf line getting in the mix it off. 468 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 1: I mean they get into mix. They think they like 469 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 1: it's toughness. They raved about it, but they were so 470 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,399 Speaker 1: um hung up and caught up on what Dalvin cooking. 471 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:27,880 Speaker 1: It's it's like Christmas when you have the really nice 472 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,880 Speaker 1: shiny toy and you get some socks. You're worried about 473 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 1: the shiny tool. We'll get to the socks. The tag 474 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 1: still on the sos. Yeah, well we'll get to that later, 475 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 1: all right. The uh next stop on my on my 476 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 1: list or my trip here was Kansas City Chiefs, So 477 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,760 Speaker 1: everybody wants to know how Patrick Mahomes is doing. Full disclosure, 478 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:47,159 Speaker 1: I did not get a chance to see much of 479 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 1: practice where our set was was kind of further away, 480 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,159 Speaker 1: So I saw the first bit of it, talked to 481 00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 1: a bunch of people, but didn't get to see a 482 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,359 Speaker 1: lot of with my own eyes. But early returns Patrick 483 00:20:55,440 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 1: Mahomes making three or four wild throws every practice, you know, 484 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 1: and they you talk to folks who say, okay, not 485 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,920 Speaker 1: necessarily always making the right read, but you can still 486 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:08,080 Speaker 1: get excited about about what he's do and then you know, 487 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 1: and there is no rush this is they are. You 488 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:13,359 Speaker 1: get the sense this could be Alex Smith for two 489 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 1: full years, if not more. I mean, this is a 490 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 1: long term play here with Mahomes, So there's no rush 491 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,879 Speaker 1: whatsoever to get him on the field. And Alex Smith's 492 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 1: teammates love him. Everyboy the organization loves him, and they 493 00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:26,440 Speaker 1: feel like he's got plenty more left. Kareem Hunt is 494 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:28,360 Speaker 1: one that they really love. I think you're gonna see 495 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,720 Speaker 1: him get heavily in the mix here, wouldn't surprise me 496 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 1: if this is his gig at some point in time 497 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:34,479 Speaker 1: during the year, you can do with things on all 498 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 1: three downs. Been impressed with the way he's blocked and caught. 499 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 1: Um and again not a home run hitter, steady Eddie, 500 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,600 Speaker 1: you know what you're getting from him. Um. So they're 501 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 1: very very high on him. But if you're gonna say 502 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 1: the one name, everything comes back to and it's not 503 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,639 Speaker 1: even close. Everybody you talked to just says, what you 504 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,960 Speaker 1: saw last year was just a tippy tippy tip of 505 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,480 Speaker 1: the iceberg of what they have there. And the speedster 506 00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:00,080 Speaker 1: on offense, Oh man, it is Tyreek kill this, I 507 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,320 Speaker 1: re killed that, my fat My favorite story they had 508 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 1: was they said, uh, they had their conditioning tests, which 509 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 1: was like twelve one tense, right buck, So you're running 510 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 1: with your skiol guys. So they get to the tenth one, 511 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 1: everybody's pretty gassed, so they blow the whistle, everybody takes off. 512 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill just stands there, wait till everybody gets to 513 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 1: the forty yard line and then sucks them all up. 514 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,000 Speaker 1: And they said, not only did he suck him up, 515 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 1: he started doing the figure eight through. The guys said 516 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:34,560 Speaker 1: and talk to some people that have been in the 517 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,400 Speaker 1: game a long time and said they have never seen 518 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,679 Speaker 1: anything like it. I mean, he's an unbelievable player. And 519 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,360 Speaker 1: they say, they say he is a great route runner. Um, 520 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,360 Speaker 1: I mean they That's what I'm saying when I say 521 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:45,680 Speaker 1: that it's the tip of the iceberg what you saw 522 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,680 Speaker 1: last year. This offense, They've had a whole offseason to 523 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:50,679 Speaker 1: get creative how to get this kid the ball. It 524 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 1: is him, I would say, it's him and Kelsey and 525 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 1: then everybody's gonna get little scraps. But oh absolutely, when 526 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 1: they get tired, when they get that, it's almost like 527 00:22:57,760 --> 00:22:59,840 Speaker 1: playing a video game when you I gotta spell my 528 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 1: I can't, So I need to find a way to 529 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 1: give it to somebody else until his his energy level returns. 530 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,119 Speaker 1: But Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelsey, I think they're certainly 531 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 1: wanted to in the passing game. And then it's about 532 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 1: having a steady presence in the run games, where it's 533 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 1: about Kareem Hunt. Whoever is able to teach a Spiller 534 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,399 Speaker 1: in the house too, how about that, see what he 535 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 1: can are we can get it. C J. Spiller siting 536 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,200 Speaker 1: like to have that great. I can't wait to see 537 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,639 Speaker 1: the homes throw a moonball and just say go get it. 538 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 1: You know, I just got And the thing about mahomes 539 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,119 Speaker 1: Oo was and me and Bucky, I think we were 540 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,199 Speaker 1: in agreement on this. We thought he was a long 541 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:34,560 Speaker 1: ways away. I thought it was it was a little 542 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,359 Speaker 1: early for him in the draft. But what we thought 543 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 1: of him before he came in here, and when we 544 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:40,400 Speaker 1: got a chance to visit with him, You're like, Okay, 545 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,680 Speaker 1: I live. I like the guy. So you're buying into 546 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:47,440 Speaker 1: the person and buying into what he's gonna be long term. Defensively, 547 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 1: uh Man, Marcus Peters looked great. Philip Gaines has had 548 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 1: a good camp for them, so that they need him 549 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:56,800 Speaker 1: to play well and then the big buzzes look what 550 00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:58,879 Speaker 1: they don't feel like that. Anybody's seen the healthy just 551 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:00,959 Speaker 1: in Houston last two years and he is right now. 552 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,280 Speaker 1: He's ready to rock and roll. It's good because they 553 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,119 Speaker 1: need that pass first presence off the edge. I know 554 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,879 Speaker 1: Tom about Ali came in with some hurt feelings, but 555 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 1: at some point you're transitioning out of tombot Ali being 556 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,119 Speaker 1: the guy and you need to have d Ford compliment 557 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 1: justin Houston. On the other side, there's a role for 558 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:18,879 Speaker 1: the reteran. He can give them something, but younger, more dynamic, 559 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,679 Speaker 1: more juice, more sizzle. Those young guys up front have 560 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,640 Speaker 1: to be able to hunt the cornerback, the quarterback, and 561 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 1: we'll see if Tom about Ali can do it. I 562 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 1: think he's more suited right now to be a designated 563 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 1: hitter guy that kind of plays in spots. A couple 564 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,119 Speaker 1: of things real quick on them. Inside linebacker would be 565 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 1: my concern for that football team. Derek Johnson coming off injury. 566 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:39,440 Speaker 1: I believe it's the second time he's done his achilles, 567 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:41,919 Speaker 1: so we'll see what he can give him. UH Ramique 568 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:46,400 Speaker 1: Wilson is solid. They traded UH for Pierre Louis Kevin 569 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 1: Pierre Louis from UH Seattle. Yeah, so I mean there, 570 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 1: that's the one area on that roster, saying, okay, that's 571 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,160 Speaker 1: not all that great. A couple other quick stops here 572 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:55,959 Speaker 1: went to the too l A teams. Have you been 573 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,200 Speaker 1: out there with all the Seames going next week? Okay, 574 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 1: so UH charges first, then rams brutal about four slamp 575 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:04,919 Speaker 1: I was there the day before he got hurt. Hated 576 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,359 Speaker 1: to see that, but to be honest. I thought the 577 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,359 Speaker 1: day that I was there, Dan Feenie actually had a 578 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:11,480 Speaker 1: better day. So they still have a young rookie that 579 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:13,439 Speaker 1: they're gonna rely on there who can play center and 580 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:17,919 Speaker 1: can play guard. Tyrolle Williams was outstanding. Keenan Allen is 581 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 1: moving well. I wouldn't say he's back completely, but moving well. 582 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:23,560 Speaker 1: Hunter Henry had a great day. He's gonna be a 583 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:25,480 Speaker 1: big part of what they do. I know, obviously Gates 584 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 1: is the future Hall of Famer, but I think you 585 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:28,879 Speaker 1: can see a lot more both. I think last year 586 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:30,920 Speaker 1: we saw we saw that. We saw that Gates is 587 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 1: kind of on the farewell tour, like just kind of 588 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,520 Speaker 1: making I want to make sure I get all my 589 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:42,120 Speaker 1: part and gifts. Week seventeen sixteen, they if he caught 590 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:43,840 Speaker 1: that touchdown. I don't think he's coming back to pay 591 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 1: their record, you know, right, I think he's coming back 592 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,680 Speaker 1: for the record. And then it's Henry's Henry's game. Hender 593 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:51,760 Speaker 1: Henry looked really, really good. It's funny you talk about 594 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:56,080 Speaker 1: Williams dontre inman. They have some receivers and saw Travis 595 00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,680 Speaker 1: Benjamin to like they have some receivers even without Mike 596 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 1: Williams being available in that being able to do anything. 597 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 1: To this point, they have some guys that can do 598 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:05,040 Speaker 1: And I think what I like about the charges is 599 00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 1: they have made a concerted effort. They're gonna be a 600 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 1: little more balanced. So they talked about we're not gonna 601 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:11,199 Speaker 1: throw it thirty or forty times, but we're also not 602 00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:13,240 Speaker 1: going to run it fifty times. We're going to take 603 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 1: what the defense gives them. If they're more balanced, and 604 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,119 Speaker 1: we've seen when Philip Rivers has really been at his 605 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:20,520 Speaker 1: best is when they were able to run the ball 606 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 1: and really dictate the terms on offense. If they do that, 607 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,119 Speaker 1: the LA Charges to me are one of the sleeper 608 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:28,080 Speaker 1: teams that we can kind of pencil into the playoffs. 609 00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 1: Does that lamp injury hurt more than Williams at this point, Well, look, 610 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:33,840 Speaker 1: I think you're gonna be fine at wide receiver. The 611 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:37,159 Speaker 1: lamp is not ideal. I mean, no question to me, Williams. 612 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:38,680 Speaker 1: They don't even know what they had. They never even 613 00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:40,520 Speaker 1: really saw him out there. I mean, let's be honest, 614 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:44,760 Speaker 1: Philip Rivers can take you anybody else. That's what he 615 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,480 Speaker 1: had done. It He's done, I mean he's done it 616 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:49,760 Speaker 1: with uh I mean a cast of no names in 617 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 1: the past, and he has some talented guys and Hunter Henry. 618 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 1: You talk about being in the middle of the field. 619 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,359 Speaker 1: They have enough offensively to get it done. I'm really 620 00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 1: excited to see that defense. And I know tweeted out 621 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,920 Speaker 1: about Joey Bosa and I talked to Us Bradley about 622 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,520 Speaker 1: the excitement with Bosa and Ingram being able to hunt, 623 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:11,119 Speaker 1: and then the two corners Rhett and Hayward and how 624 00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,639 Speaker 1: they fit into this scheme. There's a lot of excitement 625 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:15,639 Speaker 1: about the charge. I think we need to keep our 626 00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:17,800 Speaker 1: eye on and they could be the team that kind 627 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,159 Speaker 1: of goes from pretend to contend two contender this season. 628 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:24,200 Speaker 1: My sleeper slash just don't forget about him. Brandon Oliver 629 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,520 Speaker 1: had a great practice. Oh yeah, coming off to injury. Yeah, 630 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,480 Speaker 1: so get him healthy and if something, if Gordon's not rolling, 631 00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:31,639 Speaker 1: I think you can get him uh some carries. He's 632 00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,040 Speaker 1: a good little player. And then defensively, like you said, Bucky, 633 00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:37,480 Speaker 1: the defense talked to Gus before practice and just he 634 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 1: likes the fact this is a business, business approach with 635 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:41,840 Speaker 1: these guys up front and not a lot of ego, 636 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:45,159 Speaker 1: not a lot of talking, they just shut up. And 637 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:48,240 Speaker 1: Joey Bosa is in great shape. He'd just bowled the 638 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,120 Speaker 1: crap out of Russell whom the day I was there. 639 00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,879 Speaker 1: So he's gonna He's gonna continue to build off what 640 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,200 Speaker 1: he did last year. A couple of guys that are rotational, 641 00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:58,479 Speaker 1: Darius Filon started to make that next step from them. 642 00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:00,560 Speaker 1: Is a nice young player out of arkans saw. He 643 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:02,920 Speaker 1: had a good practice and and I like Jeremiah taught 644 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:04,560 Speaker 1: you was kind of that third rusher. I think they're 645 00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:06,600 Speaker 1: kind of like Kansai in Denver. They've always had that 646 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:08,719 Speaker 1: third guy. He's good. Man's a good player. So I'm 647 00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 1: talking to people in the building. They talked about it. 648 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:12,719 Speaker 1: He is kind of like that missing link because if 649 00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 1: they can get him on the field, it then allows 650 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,640 Speaker 1: them to move Joey Bosa one of those guys inside 651 00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:19,840 Speaker 1: on those pass us downs. And we know how good 652 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 1: Joey Bolsa was when he was able to kind of 653 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:25,000 Speaker 1: play that pass rush three technique at Ohio State. If 654 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,119 Speaker 1: you can get Jeremiah to kind of do some of 655 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:30,080 Speaker 1: those things, they can really be creative. And how they 656 00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,720 Speaker 1: attacked the quarterbacks all right, and then uh then was 657 00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:36,120 Speaker 1: at the rams. Um so, I mean everybody obviously, first 658 00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 1: thing you want to see his how's Jared Goff look 659 00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:41,560 Speaker 1: and what's that offense look like? To me? You saw 660 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,440 Speaker 1: a guy look more comfortable. Um. And I think some 661 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 1: of that has to do with the fact that you 662 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,320 Speaker 1: bring in a Robert Woods and and even Cooper Cup 663 00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:51,680 Speaker 1: even though he's a rookie. You've got two really really 664 00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:53,720 Speaker 1: intelligent guys are always gonna be where they're supposed to 665 00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,239 Speaker 1: be and they catch everything. Um, so you've got some 666 00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:58,800 Speaker 1: reliability there. I still think, you know, Tavon Austin wasn't 667 00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:00,959 Speaker 1: practicing the day I was there. I don't know what 668 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,480 Speaker 1: you can count on him for going forward. They still 669 00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:06,000 Speaker 1: need somebody that can just generate some some big plays. 670 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 1: I like the two young tight ends. Tyler Higbee had 671 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:10,360 Speaker 1: a great day. Gerald Everett actually had a bunch of 672 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:12,360 Speaker 1: catches as well. The rookie hat of South Alabama. So 673 00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 1: some good pieces in place there. Golf, he sailed it, 674 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 1: he sailed a curl route, he had an overthrown deep ball. 675 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,680 Speaker 1: But then also you know, his movement inside the pockets 676 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,320 Speaker 1: really good. He looks comfortable in there. Um, it just 677 00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 1: looks a more confident guy. So it wasn't the best 678 00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:29,640 Speaker 1: practice I've ever seen, but it was a solid, solid practice. 679 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 1: Was definitely a step up from what we saw last year. Yea, 680 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:32,440 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a step up. And I 681 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:35,880 Speaker 1: think part of his you have probably a more organized 682 00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:38,480 Speaker 1: operation at the top when he comes from McVeigh. McVeigh 683 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:40,360 Speaker 1: has a clear vision for how he wants this offense 684 00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:43,200 Speaker 1: to operate with a young quarterback. He is going to 685 00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:46,640 Speaker 1: he he has already from what I've been told, simplified 686 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:48,640 Speaker 1: some of the verbige for the quarterback. The quarterback is 687 00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:51,000 Speaker 1: more comfortable calling plays in the huddle. It was a 688 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,960 Speaker 1: big adjustment for him last year. And you hit the 689 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,000 Speaker 1: nail on the head when you talked about Robert Woods 690 00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,400 Speaker 1: and Cooper Cup. Some of the issues that I heard 691 00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,360 Speaker 1: last year offensively is right. Golf couldn't get comfortable because 692 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 1: he never could trust that his receivers were going to 693 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:04,840 Speaker 1: be at the spot where they were supposed to be. 694 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,280 Speaker 1: So now you bring into Robert Woods and a Cooper Cup, 695 00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:10,480 Speaker 1: two guys that you know are dependable and reliable alcohol 696 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:13,720 Speaker 1: theim Honda accords, they'll get Look, they may not light 697 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:16,560 Speaker 1: the freeway on fire, but they're gonna get from point 698 00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:18,120 Speaker 1: A to point B. They're gonna be there when they 699 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:19,720 Speaker 1: need to be there, and they're gonna be dependable. All 700 00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:21,880 Speaker 1: you need to do is change the oil With Robert 701 00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,200 Speaker 1: Woods and Cooper Cup those guys are going to give 702 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:27,560 Speaker 1: them a nice, solid set of receivers and that is 703 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:29,440 Speaker 1: enough to allow the system to work yourself out. All. 704 00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:30,960 Speaker 1: I wanna get your opinion on this because when I 705 00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,120 Speaker 1: was out there at practice, UM, I had this little epiphany. 706 00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:36,200 Speaker 1: And I'm sure this is not an original thought. I'm sir. 707 00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:38,520 Speaker 1: It's been said a million times and a million different runs, 708 00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:41,160 Speaker 1: but it's the first time I've heard. So I started 709 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,360 Speaker 1: thinking about a young quarterback. That's the key to the 710 00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:46,520 Speaker 1: success for the young quarterback, and I wrote down as 711 00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:53,000 Speaker 1: easy three p's Okay, play caller, protection, playmakers absolutely. So 712 00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:55,040 Speaker 1: when you look at the Rams what they did in 713 00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:58,840 Speaker 1: the offseason, you gotta say, okay, play caller check absolutely. 714 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,680 Speaker 1: You bring in Whitworth. Protection is improved. I don't know 715 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:05,160 Speaker 1: if it's great yet, but it's improved. And then playmakers 716 00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:07,280 Speaker 1: the one. I think they've got some good players, but 717 00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:09,960 Speaker 1: maybe playmaker. That's what they still need to get. That 718 00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:11,880 Speaker 1: is a wild card and maybe that's what they're hoping 719 00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 1: for from with Tavon Austin. But that is the one 720 00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:17,440 Speaker 1: thing and I really liked that. Three people like that 721 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:22,680 Speaker 1: three piece. Look at d Prescott, you have the three piece. 722 00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,239 Speaker 1: Last year's the rookie. How about that? Yeah? Right on 723 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,479 Speaker 1: down and look and look at where Carson Wentz is 724 00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:31,520 Speaker 1: right now. So that asaker, that is actually how it works. 725 00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 1: And I think it depends on especially if you don't 726 00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:37,200 Speaker 1: have one of those handful of elite quarterbacks that we 727 00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 1: talked about, and it's really only three or four talk 728 00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:44,440 Speaker 1: about Brady Rodgers, Breeze, Roethlisberger maybe whoever else you want 729 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:46,239 Speaker 1: to put in there. Everyone else. You got to make 730 00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,240 Speaker 1: sure that there's a running and put in the right environment. 731 00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,680 Speaker 1: And so it does come down to the play call. 732 00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:52,880 Speaker 1: It can the play call it take but the quarterback 733 00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 1: does really really well and find a way to creatively 734 00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:57,640 Speaker 1: do that over and over again from a bunch of 735 00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:00,160 Speaker 1: different sets. Can they protect him where he doesn't get 736 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:03,080 Speaker 1: hit and doesn't uh developed the yips where he won't 737 00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:05,360 Speaker 1: stand tall in the pocket, And then can you surround 738 00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:08,000 Speaker 1: them by enough playmakers where those two yard passes can 739 00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:10,760 Speaker 1: become fifteen yard games and so if you can do that, 740 00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:13,560 Speaker 1: all your young quarterbacks can kind of grow. And we're 741 00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:16,320 Speaker 1: seeing that in some other places. Tennessee, we've seen what 742 00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:18,320 Speaker 1: they've been able to do with the personnel they've added. 743 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:20,600 Speaker 1: We saw what they're doing in Tampa Bay with Jameis 744 00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:22,640 Speaker 1: Winston and some of the weapons that they've had. If 745 00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:24,360 Speaker 1: you want your young quarterbacks to seed, you have to 746 00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:26,160 Speaker 1: have a plane. Is more than just picking the goal 747 00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:28,280 Speaker 1: off the board. So I talked to Golf after practice 748 00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:31,240 Speaker 1: and I mentioned to him about, man, you know, you 749 00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:35,040 Speaker 1: won't find two football smart guys quite like Cup and 750 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,840 Speaker 1: like Robert Woods. Mean that that's they're outstanding with their FBI. 751 00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:40,880 Speaker 1: They're understanding football intelligence for those uh they didn't know. 752 00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:43,320 Speaker 1: But um, I said, how impressed have you been with 753 00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:45,240 Speaker 1: Cooper Cup? And he goes, I'll give me an example. 754 00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:48,640 Speaker 1: He said, yesterday at practice, we had a concept where 755 00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:51,400 Speaker 1: we had a uh, we're supposed to have a deep 756 00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:54,080 Speaker 1: over in a vertical and he said, so we had 757 00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:57,160 Speaker 1: an assignment bust. So the guy that's supposed to be 758 00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:59,320 Speaker 1: on the vertical runs a deep over and he said, 759 00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:01,040 Speaker 1: in the middle of the out Cooper Cup of Justin 760 00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:04,840 Speaker 1: runs the vertical and he said, that's not that's pretty 761 00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,520 Speaker 1: rare for for a rookie to on the on the 762 00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:10,760 Speaker 1: fly adjust and cover up somebody else's mistakes. So that's 763 00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:12,640 Speaker 1: what gets you excited again. Cooper Cup first guy out 764 00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,000 Speaker 1: there practice catching from the jug machine. I talked to 765 00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:18,120 Speaker 1: his receivers coach. Yeah, Yarbor is a great dude, and 766 00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:21,000 Speaker 1: he said that, uh, you know, he had actually coached 767 00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:25,600 Speaker 1: Cooper Cups receiver coach Junior Adams. Yeah, so so Junior Adams. 768 00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:27,320 Speaker 1: It's funny because I had a chance to work with 769 00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,400 Speaker 1: Cooper this offseason. He came to an event, the Elite 770 00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:32,680 Speaker 1: eleven Finals in Rodando Beach, and he worked with the 771 00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:34,840 Speaker 1: wide receivers there we had and I let him run 772 00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:38,040 Speaker 1: the endom and the interesting thing and looking at all 773 00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:40,600 Speaker 1: the drills he just had because I asked him, I said, look, 774 00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:42,080 Speaker 1: I want you to take them through a routine that 775 00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:43,960 Speaker 1: you would go through to get ready for a game 776 00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:47,040 Speaker 1: like a week up. All these precise indo drills in 777 00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:48,880 Speaker 1: the language and the way that he spoke to him 778 00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:51,160 Speaker 1: is funny. My buddy Damon Griffin, who's my partner on 779 00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:54,360 Speaker 1: the tour, knows Junior Adams, and he talked to Junior 780 00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:57,000 Speaker 1: Adams there, and Junior Adams said, look, this dude is 781 00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:00,760 Speaker 1: advanced when it comes to understanding. And so with Eric 782 00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:03,120 Speaker 1: Yarber and and those guys. Because Eric Yarber was at 783 00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:06,040 Speaker 1: Oregon State when he had uh Ocho, Cinco Chaid Johnson 784 00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:09,000 Speaker 1: and t J. He's developed a lot of why receivers 785 00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:11,080 Speaker 1: coached in the pros before before he came back to 786 00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:14,040 Speaker 1: use and some other stuff. So Cooper Cup is going 787 00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:15,400 Speaker 1: to be a nice player for I thought it was 788 00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:16,880 Speaker 1: a nice fit for them. They got him at the 789 00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:18,759 Speaker 1: right value in terms of where I thought he was 790 00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,600 Speaker 1: as a player. But now he's going to outperform that 791 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:24,640 Speaker 1: because he's gonna catch a lot of balls because he 792 00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:26,279 Speaker 1: knows how to get open, he knows where to be. 793 00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:28,640 Speaker 1: Last thing on that one, Yarber said that when he 794 00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:31,839 Speaker 1: talked to the receiver's coach there, Junior Adams, he said 795 00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,399 Speaker 1: that he said the only knockonom he said, I would 796 00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:37,480 Speaker 1: tell him, like, dude, go be a college student. Leave, like, 797 00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:40,080 Speaker 1: get out of the facility. Just come on, go hang 798 00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:41,879 Speaker 1: out with your friends. Man, just get out of here. 799 00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:44,160 Speaker 1: But Cooper Cup is definitely all in. So it'd be 800 00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:46,080 Speaker 1: fun to see how he does and how he develops 801 00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:49,000 Speaker 1: there for the young quarterback and Jared goff Um defensively 802 00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,879 Speaker 1: talked to Wade Phillips, who's running the show there. He's 803 00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:54,040 Speaker 1: excited about the group of as he thinks the secondary 804 00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:55,800 Speaker 1: has got a chance to be really, really good. Marcus 805 00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:58,239 Speaker 1: Joyner goes back to safety. He can play high, he 806 00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:00,319 Speaker 1: can also play down in the nickel and do some 807 00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,759 Speaker 1: good things in there. They bring into Kell Roby who 808 00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,560 Speaker 1: can also play inside the nickel. Two undersized guys, but 809 00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:09,640 Speaker 1: Tremaine Johnson, who's he's playing for money because he's gonna 810 00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:13,120 Speaker 1: be up ta. Yes, he had a great practice when 811 00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:14,520 Speaker 1: I was there, it looked like he was dialed in. 812 00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:16,640 Speaker 1: So this back end's gonna be good. We know about 813 00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:19,640 Speaker 1: the front end. They need to get obviously, Aaron Donald 814 00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:22,600 Speaker 1: back in there. The thing that's interesting to me is 815 00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:26,160 Speaker 1: when you talking to Waite Phillips was really fascinating because 816 00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:28,319 Speaker 1: he's like, look when you watched when he studied Robert 817 00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:32,319 Speaker 1: Quinn from previously, he's always he's always trying to win 818 00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:34,560 Speaker 1: outside and some of that is because he has some 819 00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:37,439 Speaker 1: contained responsibilities. But he's saying, look, the beauty of having 820 00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:39,759 Speaker 1: somebody like Aaron Donald. Most people in the league, they're 821 00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:42,479 Speaker 1: gonna fan out, okay, so it's rarely gonna get pure 822 00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:43,960 Speaker 1: one on ones coming off the edge. They're just not 823 00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:45,600 Speaker 1: gonna let you do that. But when you have Aaron 824 00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:48,640 Speaker 1: Donald inside, he's commanding the double so you're gonna be 825 00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:51,600 Speaker 1: on an island out here as an edge rusher. So 826 00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:54,319 Speaker 1: basically what he said was beautiful. He was like, uh, look, 827 00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:56,960 Speaker 1: how about let's not worry about containing the quarterback. Let's 828 00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:59,800 Speaker 1: just go hit him. So he said, he's starting to 829 00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:02,480 Speaker 1: work some inside counter and see some spin. He's just, hey, hey, 830 00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:04,200 Speaker 1: the world years, you got an island two way ago, 831 00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:06,440 Speaker 1: like you said, go get them. Yeah. Absolutely. I mean 832 00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:09,359 Speaker 1: when you're looking at the way that they're constructed, their 833 00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:12,040 Speaker 1: best pass rushers on the inside, and that really is 834 00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:14,840 Speaker 1: problematic because now, depending on how you shade him, meaning 835 00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:17,719 Speaker 1: he lines up on the side of a man, he 836 00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:20,359 Speaker 1: automatically draws the double team. That means you only can 837 00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:22,800 Speaker 1: double team one day on that line. You have four rushers, 838 00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:25,239 Speaker 1: you have five five Yeah, you got five protectors and 839 00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:27,719 Speaker 1: usually three four you're gonna have five down. You can 840 00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:30,640 Speaker 1: rushes five a bunch. So so they can do some 841 00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:33,160 Speaker 1: different things, and so for Robert Quinn, Robert Quinn has 842 00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:35,160 Speaker 1: to be the nice compliment to come out there. Also 843 00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:37,879 Speaker 1: look for Connor Barwin to re emerge as a guy 844 00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,840 Speaker 1: that can be kind of like that complimentary sack artists. 845 00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:43,200 Speaker 1: Maybe give you eight to ten sacks because he's on 846 00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:45,799 Speaker 1: the back side. I like the pieces that they have. 847 00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:47,560 Speaker 1: I just want to see what it looks like when 848 00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:50,560 Speaker 1: we do it. And this Saturday, they actually are having 849 00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:52,759 Speaker 1: a scrimmage. You're gonna go to the charges from I'm 850 00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:54,600 Speaker 1: trying to go next Wednesday. They're gonna do it again 851 00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:56,400 Speaker 1: at the Rams next Wednesday. So yeah, so i' mu 852 00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:57,759 Speaker 1: ture i'nna trying to get down there and see what 853 00:36:57,800 --> 00:36:59,920 Speaker 1: see what we can we can find out, how am I? 854 00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:01,920 Speaker 1: It's fun? Is it to just talk about real football 855 00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:05,320 Speaker 1: that we love it? It's back, Isn't it nice? It's back, fellas. 856 00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:08,640 Speaker 1: We're we're only three weeks away from Saturday from week 857 00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:13,560 Speaker 1: zero college football too. Oh it's great. By the way, um, 858 00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:15,680 Speaker 1: speaking of college football, I tease it at the top. Okay, 859 00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:17,040 Speaker 1: I think we gotta get roll on here anyway, So 860 00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:19,160 Speaker 1: I probably all just hit this thing. But Harrison Phillips 861 00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:23,480 Speaker 1: from Stanford, big strong, defensive lineman and he was one 862 00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:24,719 Speaker 1: of the guys we got a chance to talk to 863 00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:27,480 Speaker 1: at the Pack twelve media day. And before we get 864 00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:29,239 Speaker 1: out of here, I want you guys to listen to 865 00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:31,319 Speaker 1: our interview with him. This is a fascinating kid with 866 00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:35,000 Speaker 1: some some pretty interesting stories. I joined by Stanford defensive 867 00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:37,480 Speaker 1: lineman Harrison Phillips. Harrison, I gotta ask you a first 868 00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:40,040 Speaker 1: shot out of the at the box here from from 869 00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:42,000 Speaker 1: our days going up through Stanford and scouting. You guys 870 00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:44,440 Speaker 1: still have the Versa climber. We do. We have three. 871 00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:46,640 Speaker 1: We have three all attached to one another, so you 872 00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,360 Speaker 1: can look at the first year right. So who's who's 873 00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:52,960 Speaker 1: got the record right now? Um, Joey Alfieri has the 874 00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:55,719 Speaker 1: record right now. It was held by Devin Couldjuice for 875 00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:58,279 Speaker 1: a while, but it's been beaten alright. For those who 876 00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:00,760 Speaker 1: don't know, the Versa climber is basically a hell machine. 877 00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:05,799 Speaker 1: I don't want any for there's nothing exciting about looking 878 00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:09,960 Speaker 1: at divers been I've been there. They actually now tell 879 00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:11,160 Speaker 1: us a little bit with For those who don't know, 880 00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:13,400 Speaker 1: one of kind of the hidden guys behind the Stanford 881 00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:16,120 Speaker 1: success over the last really a decade, I guess it 882 00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:19,560 Speaker 1: should be. Is your strength coach Saren Shandon Turley. Yeah, Um, 883 00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:21,560 Speaker 1: the guy's a mastermind. I mean, I know he's won 884 00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:24,040 Speaker 1: a few awards for college strength coach and stuff like that, 885 00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:26,279 Speaker 1: but it still does go unnotice what he's doing. And 886 00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:28,319 Speaker 1: he has a different approach. He really does take care 887 00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:32,640 Speaker 1: of the athletes, and um, he finds a way to um, 888 00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:36,160 Speaker 1: really push you to your absolute limit, but never break you. Um. 889 00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:37,760 Speaker 1: And so he keeps us healthy. And that's the biggest 890 00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:39,320 Speaker 1: thing about us is you know, do you want to 891 00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:41,080 Speaker 1: bench six hundred pounds, Harrison, or do you want to 892 00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:44,040 Speaker 1: play in the NFL for twelve years? All right, Bucky, 893 00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:46,239 Speaker 1: just put your seatbelt on because I know how much 894 00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:49,440 Speaker 1: this is gonna get you excited right now, because as scouts, 895 00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:52,560 Speaker 1: something that we love, especially in offense and defensive lineman. 896 00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:55,799 Speaker 1: Give him your wrestling background. Yeah, so I'm a four 897 00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:59,880 Speaker 1: time undefeated national undefeated. Yeah, I got to buckle in 898 00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:04,400 Speaker 1: undefeated never never, no no taps, no never, never twenty 899 00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:07,560 Speaker 1: nine and no nationally. Uh So I was very very fortunate, 900 00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:10,560 Speaker 1: started at a young age and had some success obviously, 901 00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:14,280 Speaker 1: But um, the fashions with football. The money's in football. 902 00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:16,800 Speaker 1: Everything I love, everything I want to do is in football. 903 00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:19,080 Speaker 1: What about what about when football is over? Down the line? 904 00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:21,440 Speaker 1: Is m M a intrigue you at all? Kurt? Kurt Kurt? 905 00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:27,799 Speaker 1: I was thinking w W kurtin thinking about Hollywood. Now, Hey, 906 00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:30,440 Speaker 1: maybe I like I like the Hollywood scene. I'll tell 907 00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:32,440 Speaker 1: you that. But yeah, I don't know. I thought about, 908 00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:35,160 Speaker 1: you know, what if what if NFL career didn't work out? 909 00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:37,839 Speaker 1: What I actually go back to wrestling? Um, but I 910 00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:40,640 Speaker 1: really do hope, and I'm gonna keep fighting until they 911 00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:43,359 Speaker 1: really take that helmet away from me. Otherwise I'm gonna play. 912 00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:45,720 Speaker 1: This game is long. I'm gonna get every single second 913 00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:47,840 Speaker 1: out of this game. Um. The more I play, the 914 00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:49,759 Speaker 1: more I fall in love with it. But yeah, it 915 00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:52,279 Speaker 1: is fun to joke around. It's actually sometimes difficult to 916 00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:54,480 Speaker 1: think what could have been because I was probably Uh, 917 00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:56,960 Speaker 1: I know I was more of a highly touted wrestler 918 00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:00,640 Speaker 1: recruit than a football playing recruit coming out of high school. Um, 919 00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:02,200 Speaker 1: but I know that this is the right decision. I 920 00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:05,400 Speaker 1: never doubled. Does anybody roll with you at Stanford just 921 00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:08,359 Speaker 1: kind of get into you a little bit? I mean, 922 00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:10,840 Speaker 1: my my first guy here, Zach Hofpower is like you 923 00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:14,719 Speaker 1: think you I mean, he's only baby. He walked around 924 00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:17,040 Speaker 1: with a chip on his shoulder, and so it's funny 925 00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:18,920 Speaker 1: to hear him tell the story. But he's like, I 926 00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:20,880 Speaker 1: blinked and I was up. And then he's like, he 927 00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:26,800 Speaker 1: set me down, like d put the baby to rest outside, 928 00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:28,759 Speaker 1: single picked him up. I held him as much as like, 929 00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:31,480 Speaker 1: I just want you shouldn't have done that. I'm not 930 00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:38,000 Speaker 1: gonna hurt you, but you shouldn't. So my final question, 931 00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:40,720 Speaker 1: so how does that help you as a football player. 932 00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:44,360 Speaker 1: You're wrestling background, the success you had as a wrestler, knowing, 933 00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:47,200 Speaker 1: leveraging techniques, how are you able to translate that and 934 00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:49,319 Speaker 1: put that into your game as a defensive woman. Well, 935 00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:51,960 Speaker 1: in the preparation going into the mentality wrestlers have of 936 00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:54,680 Speaker 1: being so individual and having you know all that on them, 937 00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:57,360 Speaker 1: you become like a different person. You can tell almost 938 00:40:57,360 --> 00:40:58,879 Speaker 1: in a room who's a wrestler. You know, I kind 939 00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:01,480 Speaker 1: of got a way about and so in the training regimen, 940 00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:03,960 Speaker 1: you know, you you it's a whole different type of training. 941 00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:06,840 Speaker 1: Nothing I've done for football compares to how hard wrestling 942 00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:09,120 Speaker 1: training is. And so we'll finish our lists and some 943 00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:11,560 Speaker 1: guys are gassed, and I've gone those through those super 944 00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:13,880 Speaker 1: hard wrestling workouts before, and so I'm able to go 945 00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:15,920 Speaker 1: get more supplementals. And I want to be harder on myself. 946 00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:17,920 Speaker 1: I want to be more disciplined. I want to find myself, 947 00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:20,640 Speaker 1: you know, mentally where I have to be um before games. 948 00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:23,000 Speaker 1: But when it comes to the actual field, yes, everything 949 00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:25,960 Speaker 1: you said. The hips hips is so big and wrestling 950 00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:27,719 Speaker 1: and it's like the most important thing in football and 951 00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:32,120 Speaker 1: firing off the ball, flipping your hips. Flexibility, UM, I 952 00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:35,160 Speaker 1: can do the splits easily, forward, backward, whatever way it 953 00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:37,879 Speaker 1: can be. And like having those type of attributes that 954 00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:40,920 Speaker 1: that correlate with wrestling and flexibility UM as well as 955 00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:43,960 Speaker 1: extremely strong cores UM and body awareness. I can get 956 00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:46,520 Speaker 1: into positions UM where I'm getting double teams and other 957 00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:49,200 Speaker 1: people might not feel comfortable. So I'm just gonna roll. 958 00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:50,880 Speaker 1: You know, I don't want to plan and do something funky. 959 00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:53,120 Speaker 1: I know my body very well and I know awareness 960 00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:55,400 Speaker 1: and I know what I can do. UM, even if 961 00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:57,319 Speaker 1: I'm in the air trying to make a tackle or 962 00:41:57,320 --> 00:42:00,239 Speaker 1: diving over running back. I have a very good body 963 00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:02,239 Speaker 1: awareness that I can thank wrestling for so it's given 964 00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:04,040 Speaker 1: me a lot of things that have put me in 965 00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:06,400 Speaker 1: position to be to do some things with this whole football. 966 00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:08,960 Speaker 1: Generate pressure and resist pressure. It's good stuff right there. 967 00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:10,759 Speaker 1: I was talking about this all day. Law Man say 968 00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:15,600 Speaker 1: otherwise after a game, if oh Lineman wants to, I said, 969 00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:19,440 Speaker 1: quit holding me to make me it's one of my favorites. Harris, 970 00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:22,480 Speaker 1: Thanks so much man, this guy, thank you very much. 971 00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:26,120 Speaker 1: Good job so far?

No, I don't want to mess with him. 975 00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:32,600 Speaker 1: I don't want to get in the ring with him. 976 00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:34,000 Speaker 1: I won't even say the ring. I don't want to 977 00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:35,359 Speaker 1: get on the map with him. But I don't want 978 00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:38,680 Speaker 1: to be tapped out. But interesting player. I think he's 979 00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:41,719 Speaker 1: going to be a fascinating evaluation because that multi sport thing, 980 00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:44,040 Speaker 1: his background as a wrestler is going to fascinate some 981 00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:47,200 Speaker 1: d line coaches and head coaches when they dig into it. 982 00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:49,200 Speaker 1: And if he plays a little bit put some some production, 983 00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:52,040 Speaker 1: it is a nice future for a couple of takeaways too. 984 00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:55,440 Speaker 1: We heard a lot of the coaches echo that two 985 00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:59,680 Speaker 1: sport athletes are really sought after. Obviously, that's that's that's 986 00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:02,520 Speaker 1: a big hill for for PAC twelve UH coaches.
