The past year since he 51 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 1: took over as the executive director of the Senior. 52 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 2: Bowl had many year. I actually got here in late April, 53 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 2: just right before the draft. So yeah, we went to 54 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 2: I went to the draft party. That was my first event. 55 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,079 Speaker 2: And you know, it's been a it's been a whirlwind 56 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,639 Speaker 2: since then. You know, this was set up. Jim did 57 00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 2: a Jim did a good job, very good job with 58 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 2: this for years. Phil Savage kind of set this ball, 59 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 2: kind of rolling the right way about how to evaluate 60 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 2: and how to do this, just like an NFL ball club. 61 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 2: So this wasn't broken at all when I got into it. 62 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 2: I had to replace some areas scouts that we had, 63 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 2: you know all across the country, had a great staff. 64 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 2: I mean phenomenal staff. We added three more people to 65 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 2: the staff. We got fourteen people that evaluate players. You know, 66 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 2: that's that's as good as some NFL ball clubs, you know, 67 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 2: some of their scouting departments. Some are huge, some are 68 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 2: you know, minimal. But you know, we're kind of in 69 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 2: the media, and I think help. When I got here, 70 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 2: there was two hundred players already evaluated. We did six 71 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 2: hundred and ninety to reduce it down to our three hundred, 72 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 2: and we did a top three hundred. And that top 73 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 2: three hundred didn't mean that those are the only guys 74 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 2: we're going to choose from, you know, for as far 75 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 2: as the you know, our invitations, because guys play into it, 76 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 2: and guys also played their way out of this year too. 77 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 2: You know, it's broken down, you know, just like just 78 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 2: like a team. And we met in October. We met 79 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 2: with the Areascus. We'd already given them a list we established, 80 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 2: then they cross checked on us well, then then we 81 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 2: met with them. We recross checked then and then we've 82 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,799 Speaker 2: put the invitations together. What we did is we waited 83 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,280 Speaker 2: a lot longer than you know, what you know, been 84 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 2: in the past because being on the coaching side, which 85 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 2: I was in the coaching side for seventeen years too. Yep. 86 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 2: I didn't want that distraction of something like that during 87 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 2: the year, so we didn't send it out until right 88 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,919 Speaker 2: before Thanksgiving to where most of them were there. It 89 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 2: was the end of their season, and I was incredibly 90 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 2: surprised everybody. The one team gave those out within a 91 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,280 Speaker 2: week of the end of their season. And if I 92 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,719 Speaker 2: would have sent them out four weeks before that, you know, 93 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 2: first of all, I've been rushed because I wanted to 94 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,599 Speaker 2: be right. I didn't want to be wrong an the 95 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,279 Speaker 2: other things. I knew they were going to hand them out, 96 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 2: and then I'd have to call every single one and go, hey, 97 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,480 Speaker 2: would you mind handing out the invites please? I mean, 98 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 2: and followed up at every school we sent them to, 99 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 2: so and still there was only one school that held out. 100 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,359 Speaker 2: And what's funny is that they never gave the invites 101 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 2: out and I was like, really, you know, just had 102 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 2: to be one guy, Yeah, and it wasn't. 103 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 1: Because of the head coach, every NFL fans got to 104 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 1: be plugged into what's happening down in Mobile, not only 105 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 1: as far as the game is concerned, but throughout the 106 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: week because since twenty twenty one, at least one hundred 107 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: players have been selected in each draft class and last 108 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 1: year alone. How about the placement of fifty senior ball 109 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,159 Speaker 1: participants selected in the top three rounds. 110 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I like that and I think that's important too. 111 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 2: And people talk about, hey, you know the first round, 112 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 2: the second round, you know what, I want to build 113 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,720 Speaker 2: this to where and again, there's always going to be 114 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 2: some attrition. So I would love this to be ninety 115 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 2: five percent of the roster. It's drafted every year. That's 116 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 2: what I'm chooting for. And if I can get to 117 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,479 Speaker 2: that point, then that is the best. It gets the best. 118 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 2: And you know what I tell people is where can 119 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 2: you go to watch more draftable players one place, one time? 120 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 2: Where can you There's nowhere? I mean the Iron Bowl 121 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,599 Speaker 2: doesn't have forty two guys out there. They're gonna, you know, 122 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 2: get drafted. They go quar to four State done, Wyle, 123 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 2: Michigan done. I mean this place, this place has and 124 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 2: will have that many drafted eventually. 125 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: Yeah. The premiere all sorry game in the country, no 126 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:45,919 Speaker 1: doubt about that. 127 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:46,720 Speaker 2: Uh. 128 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 1: What is the practice week like in can you speak 129 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 1: about the importance for the players as far as they're 130 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: auditioning in front of all those coaches and gms and 131 00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,039 Speaker 1: scouts that you just talked about. 132 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:04,720 Speaker 2: Well and again, other people put different value on different things. 133 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 2: And again, some people think the one on ones are 134 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 2: the most important. Some people think the team process is better. 135 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 2: Some people think the inside drills are more important. You know, 136 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 2: And I'm and being from a coaching background to start 137 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,679 Speaker 2: out with it. I mean, individual one on one pass rush, 138 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 2: it's a defensive drill, and defense you win ninety percent 139 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 2: of time. If you're not winning ninety percent of the time, 140 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 2: you're not very good. And the DBS versus receivers it's 141 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 2: an offensive drill and you better win that ninety percent 142 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 2: of the time because you have the entire field to 143 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 2: work with. So, I mean, you get some ooz and 144 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 2: haas in that part of it, but it all comes 145 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 2: down to that. The team drills, the inside drills, you know, 146 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 2: a full speed piece of it, and everything gets ratcheted 147 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 2: up on Saturday, and it's just like when you know 148 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 2: when you say the Hey, it's different in the playoffs. Yeah, 149 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 2: it's different in a game too, because no matter what 150 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,239 Speaker 2: you do, there's not a lot of dudes that really 151 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 2: you're busting at one hundred percent, you know, during practice. 152 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 2: But to go through practice and to perform well, to 153 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 2: be in the front of the line, to be competitive, 154 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 2: you know, do things the right way, to take coaching. 155 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 2: All those things are looked at and people don't think that, 156 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 2: you know, they think, oh, well, you know, that's wight. 157 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 2: Now I'm watching how they line up. I'm watching how 158 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 2: you know, if they're hiding in the back, you know, 159 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 2: if they got exposed at certain points and now they're 160 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 2: they're kind of limiting their reps, or if they're cherry 161 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 2: picking safeties instead of corners when they're in one on one, 162 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:35,840 Speaker 2: you know, receivers versus dvs. I mean, people don't think 163 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 2: that that's important, but it is because it shows your 164 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 2: competitive nature. And if you don't love to play the game, 165 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,559 Speaker 2: it's going to show up. And if you don't love 166 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,439 Speaker 2: the game and you go to the NFL, you're not 167 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,560 Speaker 2: gonna last well, you know, because these most of these 168 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 2: kids haven't been through a lot of adversity, you know, 169 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 2: because of the transfer portal. It's like, hey, it's tough 170 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 2: for me. I'm out, I'm deuces. You know, guess what, 171 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 2: every day in the league, you're gonna have some adverse 172 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 2: because those grown men they want to keep their jobs. 173 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,720 Speaker 2: You know, there ain't gonna be no damn hand holding entitlement. 174 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:08,560 Speaker 2: And again, like I said, they don't. They don't care 175 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,839 Speaker 2: what the hell you do. They don't. So pete that 176 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 2: the practice part is important. The interviews are important. You know, 177 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 2: how you communicate with trainers, how you treat people. I mean, 178 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 2: because again, you want to draft professionals. You don't want 179 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 2: to draft bad people because bad people don't last in 180 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 2: the league heat, they don't, you know, characters. I mean, 181 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 2: I'll be honest with you. I may be missed on 182 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:37,319 Speaker 2: ability maybe like five percent of the time. The biggest 183 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,320 Speaker 2: mistakes I ever made were character issues. You know where 184 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,439 Speaker 2: I went. You know, I listen to guys. Oh he's 185 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 2: a great kid, he does this, he'd work. Yeah, guess 186 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 2: what I get him, And it's like nope, and they 187 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 2: don't last. They don't. So that's that was pretty long gate. 188 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 2: I apologize for that one. 189 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,319 Speaker 1: No, I love it, man, I liked enthusiasm. Is this 190 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,960 Speaker 1: one of those weeks that is truly unique where the 191 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,200 Speaker 1: decal on your helmet doesn't matter. You might have a 192 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 1: linebacker from Alabama matching up with a small school running 193 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 1: back you know from you know, the Sun Belt, and 194 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 1: it's just it doesn't matter your background. You will have 195 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:23,439 Speaker 1: an opportunity to make the name for yourself no matter 196 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 1: where you came from. 197 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 2: That is true. But you know, again, can guys elevate 198 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 2: if they can. But in my eighteen years coming down here, 199 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 2: there's also guys that got exposed that they more good 200 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 2: wrong because again this is the best of the best. 201 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 2: And sometimes those guys they figure it out pretty quickly, 202 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 2: you know, and some of them don't. And you know, 203 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 2: sometimes they prove that they can't play at this level. 204 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 2: I mean, it just it just happens. 205 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:50,960 Speaker 1: You know. 206 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 2: Again, normally it's not normally it's not a small college guy. Normally, 207 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 2: it's that that four year starter that just isn't quite 208 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 2: athletic enough, you know that, or he's not quite strong enough. 209 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 2: And you go like, wait a minute, he's been there 210 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 2: for four years, he's been there for five years, and 211 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:11,440 Speaker 2: he's weak. You know, well he's weak now, He's gonna 212 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 2: be weak tomorrow, and he's over week next year too 213 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,839 Speaker 2: if he hadn't developed inn But here's the other thing. 214 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 2: I'll say this too, and I mean, I may be 215 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 2: tolling off base, but offensive line play is not very good. 216 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 2: Now it's fine, And I think that's because guys do 217 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 2: not stick around and get developed and stay within the system, 218 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,320 Speaker 2: stay with the strength coach and wait their damn turn 219 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,839 Speaker 2: and play as a backup, you know, because most of 220 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 2: these guys are like, well, you know, I'm not playing 221 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,200 Speaker 2: my first year, I'm out. Well, they may miss a 222 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 2: whole cycle of training by doing that. You know, they 223 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 2: may not they may not get a degree because they're 224 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 2: losing you know, they're losing credits left and right. 225 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 1: You know. 226 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 2: Again, they think it's the easy way out. They're gonna 227 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 2: make more money that way. Great, but are you ever 228 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,560 Speaker 2: truly going to devel and become where you might be 229 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 2: actually making generational money? Because offensive linement, if you get 230 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,439 Speaker 2: in their third contract, that's generational light. 231 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, what stands what stands out to you about the 232 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 1: accepted invites as far as this senior ball class, because 233 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 1: I was doing some study and I'm looking at the 234 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 1: defensive line. You got Texas Tech Edge, David Bailey, you 235 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 1: got Texas A and M Edge, Casius holl you got 236 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 1: Clemson Edge. 237 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 2: TJ. 238 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:34,079 Speaker 1: Barker, you got Florida defensive tackle Caleb Banks. You got 239 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,560 Speaker 1: Oklahoma edge or Mason Thomas. I can go on. You 240 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 1: can talk about the guys. It seems like in Mobile 241 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,559 Speaker 1: there's gonna be a defensive lineman for every team. 242 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 2: Uh well, and there's there's juniors that we cannot announce 243 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 2: either that are already accepted too. And put it this way, 244 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 2: they're still in the playoffs. Catch my griffs, Yeah, I 245 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 2: get it. Yeah. So it's a lot stronger than it 246 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 2: even shows there. The defensive end edge class is I 247 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,560 Speaker 2: would say, and again I hadn't been in you know, 248 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,520 Speaker 2: this spot. I've been a general manager in college for 249 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 2: the last three years, but it'd be hard for me 250 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,839 Speaker 2: to believe that there's been a defensive end edge class 251 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 2: that's better than this of the last five years. Brother. Now, 252 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 2: interior was better last year and this group's not bad, 253 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 2: but that interior group of interior defensive lineman last year 254 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,719 Speaker 2: was really good. This class is is good. I mean, 255 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 2: it isn't as good, but I think it's a little 256 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 2: bit deeper. And you know, the funny thing is we've 257 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,960 Speaker 2: got some like we got some zeros that I mean 258 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 2: that looked like zero noses, but they're kind of got 259 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:49,440 Speaker 2: a little bit of sexy fat man to them now, 260 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 2: and they got a little bit of pass rush to 261 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,200 Speaker 2: him now. I mean every single one of them, from 262 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 2: McClellan to I'm in a Orange. I mean, I'm trying 263 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 2: to remember all of them. But you know, I kind 264 00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 2: of kid around with him. I say, hey, SETSI fat man, 265 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,199 Speaker 2: what's up. I mean, because they got a little juice 266 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 2: to it. And that's a good thing. I mean, I mean, heck, 267 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,960 Speaker 2: you know Hunter, I mean, he blew it up against Miami. 268 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,720 Speaker 2: You know, the kid in Texas Tech, and he's a local, 269 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 2: you know, so when I went out to Texas Tech, 270 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 2: he was like, bringing all my boys, and sure enough, 271 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 2: he bringing all his boys. Yeah, that's a highlight to me. 272 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 2: I think that's gonna be really competitive. I think that's 273 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 2: going to push I think some of the tackles, some 274 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 2: of the upper echelon tackles to come down here too. 275 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 2: We do have some that are still kind of holding 276 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 2: a little bit, which I think they're going to go. 277 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 2: Await a minute, you know, I'm going to show against 278 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 2: real guys. I probably need to go down there and 279 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 2: and I tell some of the players that you know, 280 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 2: after they've accepted. I said, you better be ready for this. 281 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:49,600 Speaker 2: I said, because some of the guys you've lined up, 282 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 2: you know, against for the last three or four years. 283 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 2: I said, their ass is going to be working at 284 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 2: ups next week. I said, these guys here are playing 285 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 2: on Sunday, so you know, you better come down here 286 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 2: with the right mindset because this isn't This isn't a 287 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 2: puff This isn't a powder puff game. You know, this 288 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 2: isn't the walk free and it's not the combat. This 289 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 2: is still football. So uh. The receiver class is really deep. Yeah, 290 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 2: not a lot of number ones, okay, but a boat 291 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 2: load of number two's, and really a really good slot class. 292 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 2: I mean really good slot class. You know, you'll see 293 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 2: we added a couple over the last three days that 294 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 2: inside guys that are really dynamic quarterbacks. You know, if 295 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 2: I get the other two, I think this will be 296 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 2: an incredible, incredible group down here. Tip I already got six, 297 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,400 Speaker 2: you know, still waiting on too, And like I said, 298 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 2: we're gonna we're gonna take eight, and I think it 299 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 2: is gonna be. I think it'll be really really solid 300 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:54,360 Speaker 2: class running backs. A little bit down, you know, numbers wise, 301 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,040 Speaker 2: but I think there's some really quality you know, running backs, 302 00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 2: plus quality starters in that group. The other group I 303 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 2: think is really strong. There's a lot more y tight 304 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 2: ends in this group than probably in the while. There's 305 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 2: three or four guys that could stick their hand in 306 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 2: the dirt and do it all. Now are they George Kittle, No, 307 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 2: but they're they're adequate at everything and they can be 308 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 2: a good inline why and a pass receiver. There's also 309 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 2: a lot of good HF receiving tight ends in this 310 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 2: group too that we got down coming down here too. 311 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:31,360 Speaker 2: Offensive line, good kind of across the board. You know, 312 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 2: not too many, like you know, dynamic lefts, but there's 313 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 2: some lefts that can play, you know, for a long time. 314 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 2: And I think there's it's it's a good group. It's 315 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:46,360 Speaker 2: it's just not you have seen that top five or 316 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 2: six guy, you know what I mean. There's no Tiran 317 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 2: Smith in this group. 318 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 1: So you just said something that had my ears perk up. 319 00:16:55,760 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 1: It's January seventh. We're taping this official Jests podcast. You 320 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,640 Speaker 1: said six quarterbacks have committed so far and you're waiting 321 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 1: on an additional two. Well, there's college football semi finals 322 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,159 Speaker 1: here this week. In a couple of days, Miami's playing 323 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 1: Ole miss and then Indiana's playing Oregon, So it could 324 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:22,200 Speaker 1: be two of those two from those respective teams two 325 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 1: and Jets fans have keen interest in both those ball 326 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:28,679 Speaker 1: games because we don't know where the Jet's gonna go 327 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,440 Speaker 1: at the quarterback position in offseason. GM Darren Muschi said 328 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 1: the team is going to exhaust all its options right now. 329 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,680 Speaker 1: Justin Field still on the contract, as is Brady Cook, 330 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:39,720 Speaker 1: the rookie and draft free agent on the Missouri he 331 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:44,439 Speaker 1: started four games. To Rod Tayler has an inspiring contract, 332 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,919 Speaker 1: But the Jets could go in any one of a 333 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 1: number of directions here this offseason. Let's talk about a 334 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,960 Speaker 1: couple of these quarterbacks who we know definitely going to 335 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 1: be there. Garrett nuss Meyer from LSU, you tweeted the 336 00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 1: other day that you have a funny feeling that Nussmyer 337 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 1: is going to blow it up all week long. 338 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,560 Speaker 2: Why well, because if you go back a year before, 339 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,440 Speaker 2: you can't unsee what you saw, and that was over 340 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:14,199 Speaker 2: four thousand yards and twenty four touchdowns. Right now, when 341 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,959 Speaker 2: you're evaluating anybody and you see something like that and 342 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,919 Speaker 2: it tails off, you always have to ask yourself as 343 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 2: an evaluator and as a team Why okay, And there's 344 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,880 Speaker 2: a lot of whys to Garrett Mussmyer. First of all, 345 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 2: he's hurt almost the entire year. People didn't know that, 346 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 2: and that offensive line was not very good. They did 347 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 2: not do a very good job protecting him. First example, 348 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,719 Speaker 2: the first third down against Texas A and M. They 349 00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:47,360 Speaker 2: start a freshman left cackle and Nato chip Cash's howl 350 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:50,879 Speaker 2: and he lights him up right. Well, that's not on 351 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:55,200 Speaker 2: Garrett Nusmyer. That's on coaching, you know, that's on play calling. 352 00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,119 Speaker 2: Because I saw him at the Manning Academy. I've known 353 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,879 Speaker 2: him since he was fifteen years old. I know he 354 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 2: can spin it. I know he can I know he 355 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 2: can run the line of scrimmage, which there are a 356 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:08,840 Speaker 2: lot of college guys now that can run the line 357 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,640 Speaker 2: of scrimmage. Do you know what I'm talking about? While 358 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:15,680 Speaker 2: I mean that, there's not a lot of people that 359 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,680 Speaker 2: understand that. When I say that, you know how many 360 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:22,120 Speaker 2: people actually know how to ib might change a protection? Right? 361 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,359 Speaker 2: Understand where your hots are you know, actually killed to 362 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 2: a different plant. 363 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 1: You know, I suppose as opposed to getting a play 364 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 1: coming in from the sideline. 365 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,399 Speaker 2: And then never getting into huddle and never making a 366 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:38,680 Speaker 2: huddle call, right, and you know there are three guys 367 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:42,240 Speaker 2: out of this class that can do that. Well, when 368 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:44,920 Speaker 2: you walk into the NFL huddle, you are gonna call 369 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 2: in the huddle, you are gonna go up there about 370 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 2: twenty five seconds left, and you're gonna have to make 371 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 2: about five or six different decisions within that And if 372 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 2: the things change, well, then am I change I'm gonna 373 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 2: have to all the bloms or I'm not change protection, 374 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,359 Speaker 2: or I'm gonna have to throw hot you know, and 375 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 2: that ain't easy if you've never done it before. Excuse 376 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,760 Speaker 2: my grammar, Bud, it ain't easy. 377 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:09,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, So he's a guy who could really elevate his 378 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:13,359 Speaker 1: draft stock. I know it's interesting because it's just January. 379 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 1: We're still three and a half months away. But once 380 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,440 Speaker 1: we get to mobile and you see these guys out 381 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,400 Speaker 1: there on the field, you're gonna have a better idea 382 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,360 Speaker 1: how they line up. And like you're talking about Nutsmeyer, 383 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 1: he dealt with the abdomen injury throughout the year, you know, 384 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:31,120 Speaker 1: and and you spoke of the personal deficiencies they had 385 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:34,200 Speaker 1: up front. So again he's a guy can take advantage 386 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:34,840 Speaker 1: of it. 387 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:35,640 Speaker 2: How about the. 388 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 1: Heisman Trophy finalists from Vanderbilt. Diego Pavia might be short 389 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:45,199 Speaker 1: in stature, but man, he's long on competes, isn't he. 390 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I did. I mean I nicknamed him 391 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:50,720 Speaker 2: and he kind of liked it. I call him Bulldog, 392 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:55,840 Speaker 2: you know, I said, Diego Diego bulldog Pobby Right, tape's 393 00:20:55,880 --> 00:21:00,080 Speaker 2: pretty damn good. The thing that's gonna limit him and 394 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:05,080 Speaker 2: which limits all short quarterbacks, including me, it's hard to see. 395 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,200 Speaker 2: I mean, it just is. If you don't have a lane. 396 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 2: I mean, it's hard. It's hard to let loose. Sometimes 397 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,639 Speaker 2: you've got to throw with anticipation. You've got to trust 398 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:16,240 Speaker 2: that your receivers are going to be where they're going 399 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 2: to be. And again, if the pocket collapses into you, 400 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,520 Speaker 2: it makes it even harder. And you know, again, the 401 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,680 Speaker 2: greatest thing about him is he's got the escapability and 402 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 2: he's good. You know when he does escape that he 403 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,200 Speaker 2: actually does make plays down the field, not just running, 404 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:37,119 Speaker 2: but he actually makes plays, you know, throwing. You know, 405 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,479 Speaker 2: this can actually show people that, you know, he can 406 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,440 Speaker 2: compete in the NFL, you know, because there's not many. 407 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 2: You know, I always go back to Parcells quotes on there. 408 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,880 Speaker 2: You know, hey, five to nine quarterback, Yeah, name me one, 409 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:53,639 Speaker 2: you know, and it's like Kyler Murray, right, okay, and 410 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 2: you go name me too. Well you can't name two, Yeah, 411 00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:00,040 Speaker 2: you know you can't. I mean, so you know the 412 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,679 Speaker 2: league is against that, but the league has also shown 413 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 2: that maybe you back him up a little bit more 414 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,119 Speaker 2: in shotguy, you give him more vision. You know, That's 415 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,399 Speaker 2: what they did grant, you know, Arizona with Kyler Murray 416 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,439 Speaker 2: and then his legs helped him out. And you've got 417 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 2: to tailor your offense around guys like that. Competitive as hell, 418 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 2: I mean, tough guy. I mean, you know, again, got 419 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 2: to learn when the shut up, you know. But you 420 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,280 Speaker 2: know again he's backed a lot of it up, he 421 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 2: really has. 422 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, fair point. You're also gonna have Taylor Green from 423 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,919 Speaker 1: Arkansas down there at Illinois quarterback Luke Altmayer. How about 424 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,119 Speaker 1: Sawyer Robertson from Baylor. He's gonna have to make a 425 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 1: big transition as far as playing the pro style offense 426 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:43,840 Speaker 1: like you're talking about, and getting in the huddle and 427 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 1: things like that. But do you like his athletic traits. 428 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:48,199 Speaker 2: You know, for being a big man, and he is 429 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:52,119 Speaker 2: a big man. Now he's got a capability and run ability. Uh. 430 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,240 Speaker 2: He had to use that a lot because they weren't 431 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:57,119 Speaker 2: very good at protecting in neither. They couldn't run the 432 00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 2: ball very well. And they were always in shootouts because 433 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 2: you know, quite honestly, defense is probably getting up thirty 434 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 2: points a game. To me, he's probably the best pure 435 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:12,120 Speaker 2: passer of the whole group. And again there's a difference 436 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:16,120 Speaker 2: between being a thrower and a passer. And he's a passer. 437 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:20,159 Speaker 2: And you know, when he's got time and he's on rhythm, 438 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:23,480 Speaker 2: I mean he is. He is wicked accurate. You know. 439 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 2: Then that falls off a little bit when you know, 440 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:27,400 Speaker 2: people get around his feet, you know, and he can't 441 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:29,119 Speaker 2: set up the right way, and he's off balanced a 442 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,320 Speaker 2: little bit. He's under pressure. You know, he's got to 443 00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:34,400 Speaker 2: show people throw under pressure. But I think this will 444 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 2: help him real through the process because I think people 445 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,040 Speaker 2: will see how easy it comes out of his hand. 446 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 2: And again, I was really lucky, you know, being down 447 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:44,919 Speaker 2: to the Manding Academy for those couple of days. I 448 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,400 Speaker 2: got to see these guys up close and personal, and hey, 449 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,359 Speaker 2: when you can see it come off their hand, and 450 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 2: you can hear it come off their hand. And not 451 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 2: a lot of people know what I'm talking about that either. 452 00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:57,800 Speaker 2: Now if even stand there on a deep comeback and 453 00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,880 Speaker 2: you hear that damn ball coming at you, Okay, there's 454 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:04,919 Speaker 2: some ballistics on that ball and that helps in the 455 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 2: wind in outdoor games, Big Tom. So that's huge, I 456 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 2: mean huge importance to me. And again I look at 457 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,280 Speaker 2: a lot of different things, and I'm a Sawyer. I'm 458 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:20,199 Speaker 2: a Sawyer Robertson fan. If he was with a you know, 459 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 2: more cohesive group that ran about better, I think he 460 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,120 Speaker 2: would have been a hell of a lot more productive. 461 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:29,880 Speaker 2: But I think he led the country in passing though 462 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:31,120 Speaker 2: I remember. 463 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:35,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, well he definitely posted big numbers for the Bears 464 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 1: there in Waco. I'd be remiss if I didn't. We 465 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,119 Speaker 1: might We talked about the college football at the semi 466 00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 1: finals before. Can I just get your thoughts? Not all 467 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,680 Speaker 1: these guys will ultimately make their way down to Mobile, 468 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,159 Speaker 1: but maybe a pair of them. Well, what are your 469 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:55,360 Speaker 1: thoughts on on these four guys and if they come 470 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:56,359 Speaker 1: out in the draft? 471 00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:02,719 Speaker 2: Shambleiss is lot of a lot like Kyler Murray, a 472 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:07,399 Speaker 2: lot probably a little bit better passer not much. Now 473 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 2: Kyler could spin it two. But he's the same type 474 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,520 Speaker 2: of run threat as Kyler was. I mean, Kyler could 475 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:15,679 Speaker 2: take it sixty, you know. And you know, when he 476 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 2: was healthy, he'd have to be another guy. You'd have 477 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:22,120 Speaker 2: to taylor your offense a little bit to where he'd 478 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:23,159 Speaker 2: be able to see you. I have to move the 479 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 2: pocket or or deeping him up. But he's quite capable 480 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:28,080 Speaker 2: and he's got he's got a good enough arm to 481 00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:32,040 Speaker 2: play in the NFL. Carson Beck has been a little 482 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:35,240 Speaker 2: up and down, you know this year. Uh, And I 483 00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 2: think that's kind of predicated on how well they're running 484 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 2: the ball, because when they're running the ball, well, the 485 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 2: play action game is good. And he's really good with 486 00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:45,200 Speaker 2: the play action game. Got a good got a good ball, 487 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:46,000 Speaker 2: got good touch. 488 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 1: Uh. 489 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:50,240 Speaker 2: He's just been in't a little bit sporadic, you know times, 490 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 2: and he's a little bit streaky, and I think it 491 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,879 Speaker 2: would be great for him to be here just to 492 00:25:54,880 --> 00:26:01,000 Speaker 2: show people that he's not just a streaky guy, you know. Mendoza. 493 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 2: I mean, I the first interview I had an NFL network, 494 00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:07,159 Speaker 2: they asked me who I was really looking forward to 495 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,359 Speaker 2: see him, and that was early August, when I said 496 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:11,960 Speaker 2: for Nanna Mendoza, they were like why, I was like, well, 497 00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 2: because I watched him against cal I said, to watch Macaw. 498 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:16,960 Speaker 2: I said, I watched him carve up Opera, I mean 499 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:20,800 Speaker 2: carve them off. And I said they weren't very talented 500 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:24,480 Speaker 2: a cow at all. I mean, there wasn't you know, 501 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:26,359 Speaker 2: a lot of draft picks running around in that offensive 502 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:30,760 Speaker 2: field with him, and Auburn played pretty good defense a 503 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:32,439 Speaker 2: year before. They played good defense this year, but they 504 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:34,160 Speaker 2: played pretty good defense a year before. And I would 505 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,720 Speaker 2: go like, if he can do that there, let's see 506 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:40,119 Speaker 2: what he does, you know, surrounded by some some real dudes. 507 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:44,479 Speaker 2: And he had some real dudes of in Mianna. I'm 508 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:45,879 Speaker 2: trying to think of who the other one is. 509 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:47,640 Speaker 1: And Dante Moore. 510 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, and Dante Moore, you know, I mean he's a 511 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 2: for being a tall, you know quarterback, he's he's actually 512 00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:59,359 Speaker 2: pretty athletic and can escape and by time, you know, 513 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:02,600 Speaker 2: I I think he needs some other year. Quite honestly. 514 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:06,280 Speaker 2: I mean, because you see some you know, really good, 515 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:10,920 Speaker 2: you know, placement throws, but they're also pretty easy throws 516 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,919 Speaker 2: because they're pretty wide open. You know, there's not a 517 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:17,800 Speaker 2: lot of tight window balls. You know, he still makes 518 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 2: some young mistakes. If he comes out, I mean, just 519 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,560 Speaker 2: know that he's probably gonna need a bridge, you know, quarterback, 520 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:28,160 Speaker 2: to spend a little time and you know, let him learn, 521 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:30,960 Speaker 2: because the worst thing you can do with these guys 522 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,640 Speaker 2: that if they're not ready and you stip them out there, 523 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:37,280 Speaker 2: they may never be the same. I mean, David Carr 524 00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 2: was a great college quarter guy, and after that rookie 525 00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:43,240 Speaker 2: year where I think he kind I think they said 526 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,040 Speaker 2: like an NFL all time record of sacks he got 527 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:49,160 Speaker 2: sacked like a fifty seven flipping times or something like that, 528 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:53,000 Speaker 2: he was never the same because he was seeing ghosts, 529 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,160 Speaker 2: he was feeling the rush, he was seeing the rush. 530 00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:59,119 Speaker 2: I mean, you can't put these guys into bad situations 531 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,720 Speaker 2: because you know you may not be a very good 532 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:05,840 Speaker 2: football team. And I mean put this way, frankmin is 533 00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:10,920 Speaker 2: what one in one twelve first year. I mean again, 534 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,600 Speaker 2: the team got better. You know, thank god they did, 535 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:15,440 Speaker 2: because if you'd had to go through two years of that, 536 00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:18,199 Speaker 2: I mean, Troy might had never been the same. So 537 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,800 Speaker 2: I mean again, I'm a proponent of taking some time 538 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:25,080 Speaker 2: and letting guys develop. And again, if if he does 539 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:26,760 Speaker 2: get drafted, and if he does, you know, if he 540 00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:30,479 Speaker 2: does declare, you know, I hope that they're patient and 541 00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,240 Speaker 2: they don't expect too much too early, you know, because 542 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 2: I think he does need the other year. That's just 543 00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:37,080 Speaker 2: that's just personal O Pitio. 544 00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:40,239 Speaker 1: You know, hey, listen, you know what, inside and out, 545 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:41,840 Speaker 1: We're gonna put you on the hot seat right now. 546 00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:46,400 Speaker 1: A couple of rapid fire questions for you. How about 547 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:51,440 Speaker 1: a prospect that will impress the scouts the most immobile. 548 00:28:55,480 --> 00:29:00,120 Speaker 2: Probably Ted Hurst receiver Georgia State. I think he he's 549 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:05,880 Speaker 2: probably one of the most overlooked, soaky quick separation quicks long. 550 00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:09,880 Speaker 2: I think people will go like they probably got him 551 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:13,920 Speaker 2: as like a high fourth right now. He may end 552 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:15,640 Speaker 2: up being a He may be into being a middle 553 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:17,520 Speaker 2: second when it's all said and up. 554 00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:20,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, I love that. How About the prospect with the 555 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:22,640 Speaker 1: most unique. 556 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:31,239 Speaker 2: Backstory Michael Taff Texas. I mean straight walk on and 557 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:35,560 Speaker 2: worked his way all the way up and runs the 558 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:39,800 Speaker 2: secondary at Texas. I mean, they were so much better 559 00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,440 Speaker 2: when he was in there than when he was out 560 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,680 Speaker 2: of there when he was hurt. Plus what he did 561 00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:50,000 Speaker 2: for the flood victims in Texas after that happened. That 562 00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:53,880 Speaker 2: was impressive. I mean, he raised so much money for 563 00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:58,080 Speaker 2: those kids in their families. So that's a you know, 564 00:29:58,080 --> 00:29:59,600 Speaker 2: a little bit of a story part of it. But 565 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 2: you know, I love those guys that have shown that, hey, 566 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 2: I don't give a damn if he think I'm too small, 567 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 2: and I'll give a damn pause a walk on, and 568 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 2: then I end up betting the starter to flip at 569 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:11,360 Speaker 2: SEC school at getting an invite to the Senior Bowl, 570 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:13,719 Speaker 2: and everyone goes, oh, Harry, he's pretty small. I say, 571 00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:15,440 Speaker 2: guess what the league wants to see him at Nickel 572 00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:18,400 Speaker 2: you know, yeah, so let's see if you can play 573 00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 2: Nickel band here. 574 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:23,880 Speaker 1: That's a tough mindset on the field and great community 575 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:28,080 Speaker 1: action off the field. How about a under the raider 576 00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:32,000 Speaker 1: prospect maybe from a small school. 577 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:38,320 Speaker 2: Del b Lemieux Dartmouth, played left tackleing. He was weighing 578 00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,680 Speaker 2: probably when I watched him, about two hundred and seventy 579 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:44,400 Speaker 2: five pounds because I watched him on his junior tape, 580 00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:49,600 Speaker 2: and great athlete moves well, you know, just well in space, 581 00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:53,400 Speaker 2: protects well, and the body type is never going to 582 00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:56,760 Speaker 2: be somebody that's going to be three point thirty. So 583 00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:01,880 Speaker 2: he is now training at center because he's that athletic, 584 00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,040 Speaker 2: and he's also weighing three hundred and five pounds now, 585 00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:09,120 Speaker 2: So I think that it's either gonna be a hit 586 00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:12,760 Speaker 2: or a miss for him. But I always bet on 587 00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:17,640 Speaker 2: athletic ability above non athletes, you know, because at least 588 00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:20,960 Speaker 2: non athletes can stay on their feet and off the ground. 589 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:25,520 Speaker 2: So that's the small college guy, you know. The other 590 00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:28,680 Speaker 2: one is the Demis kid, you know from Stephen F. 591 00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:33,720 Speaker 2: Austin the corner long corner, really really good feet, has 592 00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:35,680 Speaker 2: great foot speed, he can, you know, you drive, and 593 00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,800 Speaker 2: clothes and you know, I think that he's gonna I 594 00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,120 Speaker 2: think he's gonna be kind of a He was off 595 00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,480 Speaker 2: the radar a little bit, but he was draftable. But 596 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,320 Speaker 2: I would bet that the league comes in, let's say 597 00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:47,920 Speaker 2: he's like a fifth rounder hen and he could end 598 00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:53,600 Speaker 2: up being with three. My little my one that impressed 599 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:57,560 Speaker 2: me off its first game was the Jamari Taylor kid 600 00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:02,360 Speaker 2: from VIRGINI. Yeah, he was a transfer from an HBCU 601 00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:07,480 Speaker 2: from North Carolina Center, and I mean he rolled North 602 00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:09,800 Speaker 2: Carolina State for like about I think about one hundred 603 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 2: and ninety or two hundred. First game, Yeah, he runs hard, 604 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:12,880 Speaker 2: as hell. 605 00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:14,800 Speaker 1: He's really refuses to go down. 606 00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean great, I mean great, got his feet 607 00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:19,880 Speaker 2: in the ground. I mean, you know, really good contact, bounce, 608 00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:23,720 Speaker 2: hard to tackle. I mean again, I wish I had 609 00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:27,520 Speaker 2: more HBCU kids, I mean I really do. But most 610 00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:30,520 Speaker 2: of them are picked over and they're already playing in 611 00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:35,280 Speaker 2: P four anyway. I mean they're doing colleges. P Fords 612 00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 2: are doing the job for the NFL scouts now in 613 00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:41,160 Speaker 2: the NFL personnel because it used to be where there 614 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:46,960 Speaker 2: was maybe sixty guys in like HBCUs you know FCS's 615 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:49,360 Speaker 2: and what G five's. It used to be like fifty 616 00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:54,280 Speaker 2: sixty guys. I'll bet you there's twenty now outside of 617 00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:57,960 Speaker 2: P four because they're all moving up. Yeah, they're all 618 00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:02,320 Speaker 2: getting paid, so it makes their job easier. But you know, again, 619 00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:07,400 Speaker 2: do you see that that diamond in the rough thing? 620 00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:09,880 Speaker 2: There's most of our thing anymore, there's not. 621 00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:12,200 Speaker 1: I think I know where you're going with this one 622 00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:13,720 Speaker 1: deepest position group. 623 00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,479 Speaker 2: All right, defense man hands down, not even close, not 624 00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:20,200 Speaker 2: even close. Yeah, and you forget I mean like Derek Moore, 625 00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,040 Speaker 2: I mean, Zion Young is in that group. I mean, 626 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:27,120 Speaker 2: you know, Donnie Sutton is in that group. I mean, seriously, 627 00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:30,200 Speaker 2: we got I mean, it's a it's a while, it 628 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:33,480 Speaker 2: really is. So I'm frill to death that we got him, 629 00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:35,840 Speaker 2: and you know, and I think they're going to put 630 00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:36,280 Speaker 2: on a show. 631 00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:39,520 Speaker 1: We could talk to you for hours. This has been 632 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:44,000 Speaker 1: really awesome. I wanted to end here though. The Jets 633 00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:47,960 Speaker 1: have two first round picks, number two overall, number sixteen. 634 00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:51,080 Speaker 1: They have four picks in the top forty four. This year, 635 00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:56,520 Speaker 1: they have eight overall picks. They also have five picks, oh, 636 00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:58,800 Speaker 1: five first round picks over the course of the next 637 00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:03,800 Speaker 1: two drafts. You worked in the Cowboys organization for eighteen years. 638 00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:05,440 Speaker 1: You were a GM at Auburn, and you were a 639 00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:08,600 Speaker 1: GM at West Virginia. You know the draft better than anybody. 640 00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:14,239 Speaker 1: How much can you flip this thing? If you do 641 00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:18,640 Speaker 1: have a very productive draft or two over the course 642 00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:20,520 Speaker 1: of the next two years. 643 00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:22,680 Speaker 2: I think if you, I think, if you do it right, 644 00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:25,760 Speaker 2: you should. You should. You should probably be at least 645 00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:30,560 Speaker 2: in the playoffs year two. In I mean say you know, 646 00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:33,120 Speaker 2: to win in the playoffs. I said, get to the 647 00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:35,919 Speaker 2: playoffs by a year two. If you got that many 648 00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:39,880 Speaker 2: picks and you use them the right way, and let's 649 00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:44,200 Speaker 2: just say you got you got ten guys that you 650 00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:47,640 Speaker 2: think are foundational players that are gonna be with your 651 00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:50,120 Speaker 2: team for a long time, and you have to burn 652 00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:53,919 Speaker 2: some of those picks to get to them. You better 653 00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:57,560 Speaker 2: get to them. That's the biggest thing, because if you 654 00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:01,279 Speaker 2: say that, hey, you know it's not yeah, you kind 655 00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:04,120 Speaker 2: of maybe he's not. No, if he's a foundational player, 656 00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:05,960 Speaker 2: you better go up and get it, you know. And 657 00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,640 Speaker 2: I mean that for you know, the corner, the left tackle, 658 00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:11,080 Speaker 2: you know the queue, you know, the number one receiver, 659 00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:14,200 Speaker 2: the number one running back, you know the the defense, 660 00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:17,040 Speaker 2: the three technique. If you got guys that you believe 661 00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:20,440 Speaker 2: are that and you believe they're going to be around 662 00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:24,080 Speaker 2: for two contracts, well, if you got that much ammunition, 663 00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,720 Speaker 2: you better you better not be afraid to use them. Now. 664 00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:30,560 Speaker 2: If you don't believe that that's the guy, don't do it, 665 00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:33,600 Speaker 2: you know, and then just take numbers and try to, 666 00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:36,560 Speaker 2: you know, build yourself up by depth, you know, because 667 00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:38,640 Speaker 2: that's the other thing. If you can build yourself up 668 00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:42,000 Speaker 2: to where you've got really solid depth, then you're a 669 00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:44,400 Speaker 2: hell of a lot better off. And we had we 670 00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:48,759 Speaker 2: had a really good defensive depth. We're really good you know, 671 00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:51,520 Speaker 2: and again you're gonna lose dudes here and there because 672 00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:53,440 Speaker 2: you know the contracts and you know, I'm just a 673 00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:56,680 Speaker 2: number of years and all that. But you know, you 674 00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:58,479 Speaker 2: just got to manage your You gotta manage your draft 675 00:35:58,480 --> 00:35:59,920 Speaker 2: the right way, but you also got to manage your 676 00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:05,399 Speaker 2: free agency right way. And free agency is not free 677 00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:09,920 Speaker 2: agency is a is a plug filler. But it shouldn't. 678 00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:13,239 Speaker 2: It shouldn't. It should make you more. I want to 679 00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:15,920 Speaker 2: put this, If I do that the right way, then 680 00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,520 Speaker 2: I can draft the best possible player instead of going 681 00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:22,319 Speaker 2: after you knee, because when you go after knee, you 682 00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:25,399 Speaker 2: end up screwing yourself because then you'll take a guy 683 00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:30,600 Speaker 2: that's lesser than a better player. I mean, put this way, 684 00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:34,080 Speaker 2: we didn't need c d Land. We didn't we needed 685 00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:40,120 Speaker 2: a defensive end. And it was Chase On when city Land, well, 686 00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:43,080 Speaker 2: when cite Lamb was in there. There one any of 687 00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:45,200 Speaker 2: us has said, let's not draft cd Lamb and let's 688 00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:47,920 Speaker 2: make sure we get the defensive end. It was like 689 00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:49,880 Speaker 2: we got a number one receiver right here at the 690 00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:53,800 Speaker 2: foundation guy. So that's that's what I mean. Just established 691 00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:58,080 Speaker 2: free agency to take what you absolutely have to have 692 00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:01,760 Speaker 2: and then make it where your draft is going after 693 00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:07,640 Speaker 2: the best possible play, regardless of position, and hopefully they're 694 00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:09,839 Speaker 2: all foundational players, Drew Well. 695 00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:15,600 Speaker 1: Drew Well said, the motion is popping right now from you. 696 00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:17,600 Speaker 1: You can hear your voice.

And for Jets fans, man Mobile is really 698 00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:26,439 Speaker 1: going to be the start of the twenty twenty six offseason, 699 00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:29,320 Speaker 1: and they can't wait for this draft, and we can't 700 00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:33,080 Speaker 1: wait for the festivities you put on and then also 701 00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:36,600 Speaker 1: of course the nuts and bolts of it, the practices, 702 00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:40,719 Speaker 1: the meetings, and then the game itself.

Appreciate that a lot, and always remember this, 706 00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:50,680 Speaker 2: there's only one place you can go to watch many 707 00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:54,040 Speaker 2: draft prospects of one place at one time. Bottom line. 708 00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:58,520 Speaker 2: And we're eighty percent sold out already already, so this 709 00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:01,160 Speaker 2: will be another sellout. So you're planning on coming. Gotta 710 00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:05,759 Speaker 2: get you damn tickets. True, thanks true, m hm 711 00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:11,120 Speaker 1: M m mmmmm mmm
