Speaker 3: I've heard so many players say, well, I want to

4
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 3: be happy. You want to be happy for Dake Edith

5
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 3: State is that whoo whoom?

6
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 1: And Dan and Tye.

7
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 3: Hey, everybody, it's your friend Dan. I am so, so,

8
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 3: so so so sorry. Ty is swamped this week, so

9
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:29,639
Speaker 3: we still have a show. Obviously, you know what this

10
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 3: show is. But he's a busy man. Ty has so

11
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 3: much going on, swamped at the mysterious day job closing.

12
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,559
Speaker 3: I think he closed on a new house, so he's

13
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:40,840
Speaker 3: got stuff to do. He's too busy for me. He's

14
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:43,199
Speaker 3: too busy for us. But we don't go away. We

15
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 3: don't take weeks off. That's just not what we do.

16
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,839
Speaker 3: So I texted our dear friend Bruce Feldman, who has

17
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 3: been all over this spring checking in with Spring Camp

18
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 3: and looking over players and sort of giving out eye tests,

19
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 3: because that's what Bruce does. Bruce is one of the greats,

20
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 3: and so we have them on and we're going to

21
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,759
Speaker 3: talk about all sorts of fun things and he's there

22
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 3: up close. So who better to trust than the immortal,

23
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,480

49
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 3: I Fox Sports One. Go find his book. It's called

50
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 3: The QB. It's a great fast read. Let's talk football,

51
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:37,239
Speaker 3: all right, and with that, welcome on Bruce Feldman. First

52
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 3: of all, no Tie. So if you have any questions,

53
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 3: if you want to get thoughts out, knowing that this

54
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,519
Speaker 3: will probably not get edited, just now is the time?

55
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 2: Well that is good to know. You're kind of hitting

56
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 2: me on stuff where I so I can ask anything

57
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 2: about him, or anything about or anything.

58
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 3: Like you feel like Tie would edit out or Ty

59
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 3: would be uncomfortable talking about any and just wherever your

60
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 3: heart wants to go.

61
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: And we can come back to that.

62
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 2: Like Tie is very establishment guy, true, you know, so

63
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 2: he's kind of he's kind of clamping down on all

64
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 2: our creativities.

65
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,359
Speaker 3: I would think we're going to explore the creative space

66
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 3: today with of course Bruce Feldman from Fox Sports One

67
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,679

68
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 3: place SI dot com. You are the I would argue

69
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 3: the pre eminent college football trader, Joe's vegetable Fried Rice spokesperson, M.

70
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not a it's actually my kids who like that.

71
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 2: I am so, but we are. It's legit. I'm in

72
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 2: there like once a week. Same.

73
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: I appreciate the honesty.

74
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 3: I mean, Trader Joe's sponsor, you're on the audible with

75
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 3: Stuart Mandel of the Athletics, So I think it's all happening.

76
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying.

77
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 2: I am a big Trader Joe's guy. We you know,

78
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 2: we have like the bedcome of the Mattress company. That's legit.

79
00:03:55,720 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 2: I really like that. So it's all you know, it's

80
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 2: all good.

81
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, people don't understand. So we really do use the

82
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 3: things that sponsors send us.

83
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: This is all very real.

84
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 2: Let me ask you this, would you most like to

85
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 2: and don't give me like some you know, Jaguar, some

86
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 2: fancy car dealership there, right, But let's say this, what

87
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 2: place that would be a reasonable fit for your podcast?

88
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 2: Would you most like to cultivate as tough.

89
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,160
Speaker 3: As a sponsor? God, that's a good question. I mean,

90
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 3: Apple would be great. It wouldn't make a ton of

91
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 3: sense because they don't need us. There are a couple

92
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 3: of clothing companies that if I could restock my wardrobe.

93
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: I wear a lot of clothes. You know what Everlane.

94
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 2: Is is that a company that's big in plaid.

95
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: It is not big. It's all sorts of materials and patterns.

96
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 3: Everlaine. There's a store that's all over now called Unicloth.

97
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 3: They're in la I'd happily take a sponsorship from them,

98
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 3: somewhere where I can like literally wear the sponsorship. I

99
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 3: think would be the most convenient for me.

100
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:09,479
Speaker 2: What about you, okay, uh, torchies, tacos.

101
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, that'd be nice.

102
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 2: And I actually reached out to them a couple of times,

103
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 2: not stalking, but you know, I had had them tweet

104
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 2: at me once on something. So when a couple of

105
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 2: years ago, my first two years of doing Sideline, I

106
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 2: was in the Big ten A lot. Those are the games.

107
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 2: We ended up doing the Big twelve A lot, And

108
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 2: so every Friday I would take my Sideline producer to

109
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 2: a torchise now because they were in there. They're in Oklahoma,

110
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 2: you know, in Norman, all over Texas. So it was

111
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,359
Speaker 2: very it was it just worked out great. And so

112
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 2: I'm like, man, I'm gonna be on the road in

113
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 2: the Big twelve A lot. This would be a good fit.

114
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 2: I'm a huge Torchies fan.

115
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: H what's your order?

116
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 2: My order is one chicken, one steak, Tahoe taco. I

117
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 2: am not very exotic on on some of the other stuff.

118
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: You gotta get more. They have a fried avocado taco.

119
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 2: That's not me avocado.

120
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: You gotta go for it.

121
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 2: Bruce, I'm a great Wow.

122
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 3: Okay, so you were in, you were in Oklahoma a lot,

123
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 3: and then suddenly you're in the Big Ten.

124
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,039
Speaker 2: Big twelve now, and then there's all over the Big twelve.

125
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,039
Speaker 2: So that's why it's fitting at last this past year,

126
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,799
Speaker 2: my crew is in the Big ten A lot aren't

127
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 2: tor Cheese, So it wouldn't have kind of been as

128
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 2: natural a tie in. But because we did do a

129
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 2: couple of Oklahoma games and we're in, uh did the

130
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 2: Big twelve title game, so that would have been that

131
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 2: would have worked out. But for the most part, Uh,

132
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 2: it wasn't the case last year. But that was one

133
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 2: I pushed Stu on. I said we ought to get

134
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 2: on tor cheese, and I put the other one he

135
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 2: had suggested. Yeah. So and at one point, uh, you

136
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 2: know Kevin Burkhart, I do, he's the Yeah, great guy anyway,

137
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 2: So I think it's some point he and I both

138
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 2: became like on the same bandwagon of Lululemon for men.

139
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 2: You know, closed is good, come premium af leasionable, Yes,

140
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 2: and it's just great stuff for getting on a plane

141
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,679
Speaker 2: and whatnot and just your day of travel. So ik,

142
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 2: at some point I might have reached out to them.

143
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 1: Wow, I appreciate this hustle. By the way, it's late April.

144
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 3: So to anybody listening to this and complaining inside their

145
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 3: head that we haven't gotten into college football yet, it's

146
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 3: late April and we're going to hear Bruce's thoughts on

147
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 3: ath leisure and soft tacos, that's just how it.

148
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 2: We're sorry, Sorry, this this is what happens when when

149
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 2: Tye has jury duty or whatever Tie's doing right now.

150
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 3: It's very true. Okay, let's transition to college football because

151
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 3: it is the spring. Because this is I don't know

152
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 3: how many years of you doing spring tours. You've sort

153
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 3: of been all over this spring, so overarching, because there's

154
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 3: not always a ton to take away from spring, particularly

155
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 3: spring scrimmages, games, whatever. Did you see anything that is

156
00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 3: that your positive is going to be meaningful even though

157
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 3: it was just spring.

158
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 1: As you look forward to the twenty eighteen season, yes.

159
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 2: I would be positive that UCLA desperately needs its incoming

160
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 2: true freshmen to learn the system really fast and be

161
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 2: mature and be focused because they need help.

162
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: Why.

163
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 2: They just don't have much personally, you know, so much

164
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 2: talent right now. You know, the best, the most talented

165
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 2: kid in the program, Jalen Phillips is an edge rusher.

166
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 2: He was out for the spring. And they have a

167
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 2: couple of defensive backs, but beyond and you know, defensively

168
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 2: they have a few pieces. Offensively, they don't have much

169
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 2: right now. And I think when you look at the

170
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 2: schedule they have and I said this on our podcast

171
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:47,319
Speaker 2: the other day as I kind of went through it

172
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 2: just thinking in real time, I think it's a stretch

173
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 2: to think they are going to be favored in more

174
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:57,680
Speaker 2: than two games this year. Wow. And those two games

175
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 2: will be the opener with Cincinnati, who have bad year,

176
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 2: and the other one would be a game against Fresno

177
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 2: who's coming off a double digit win season. And I'm

178
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:06,599
Speaker 2: not you know, I'm not positive they're going to be

179
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 2: favored in that game because that's coming off of a

180
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 2: game at Oklahoma, where I think Oklahoma could could beat

181
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 2: them by four touchdowns.

182
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you're talking about a Cincinnati team that I

183
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 3: think is one of the best three, maybe group of

184
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 3: five recruiters recently with Luke Fickle and Fresno, which has

185
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 3: a really good defense, like like a legitimately good defense

186
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 3: they do.

187
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,719
Speaker 2: Now they're gonna have a new defensive coordinator, right, they're old,

188
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,679
Speaker 2: DC went back to the CFL. But still you know,

189
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 2: they won double digit games, and you know that those

190
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 2: kids on that team are going to look at and go,

191
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 2: you sill a man, you guys never recruited me, And

192
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 2: there's going to be a lot of passion for that.

193
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 2: So and there's probably a you got Jeff Tedford who's

194
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 2: coached against Chip Kelly a lot, and I'm sure that

195
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 2: there's you know, there's going to be that one circle too.

196
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 2: So whenever you get one of those like like last year,

197
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 2: I know San Diego State relished whi ASU and beating Stanford,

198
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,719
Speaker 2: you know, there's kind of their little brother vibe to it.

199
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 2: So so that was that was you know, a big

200
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 2: takeaway some of the other places. You know, I think

201
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 2: Washington is going to be really good. I think they're

202
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 2: loaded in the secondary with young talented guys, and I

203
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 2: think that I think they have a shot to go

204
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 2: to the playoff this year, a real shot not only

205
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 2: to go, but to do some damage when they get

206
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 2: there this year.

207
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 3: Okay, fair enough, What is the biggest difference? Not to

208
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 3: spend too much time on UCLA, but what is the

209
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 3: biggest difference in your eyes? Having spent time around him

210
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 3: before in Eugene and now a little bit in Westwood,

211
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 3: between twenty twelve chip Kelly and twenty eighteen chip Kelly,

212
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 3: assuming twenty twelve chip Kelly is not just dropped down

213
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 3: in southern California.

214
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 2: I think some of the differences are the influences around him.

215
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 2: You know, He's been a lot of different places. He

216
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 2: obviously spent time in the NFL, where I think there's

217
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 2: some elements I think he's probably I don't say more

218
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 2: open to but probably been more exposed to some trial

219
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 2: and error and saying hey, we can do it this way,

220
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 2: and probably more adaptable to what he has to work

221
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 2: with or what he might not have to work with.

222
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 2: And I think you see, you know, when he was

223
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,679
Speaker 2: when he was at Oregon, obviously it worked great because

224
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 2: they they I think it was like forty six and

225
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 2: seven and four years as a head coach, but a

226
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 2: lot of those assistants were Ballatti guys and were longtime

227
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 2: Oregon guys, Whereas in this case, it's not to say

228
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 2: that he doesn't have guys who who know him, because

229
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 2: he's got, you know, guys who worked with him with

230
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 2: the Niners and guys who work with him with the Eagles,

231
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 2: and there are a couple of you know, Oregon disciple

232
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 2: guys there. But I just think a lot of these

233
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 2: different elements. I think, you know, it's not twenty twelve,

234
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 2: and I think, you know, if you want an example,

235
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 2: it's not to say he's going to be exactly like

236
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 2: what Scott Frost was at UCF, But you saw UCF

237
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:03,079
Speaker 2: in the last couple of years evolve is probably not

238
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 2: the right word, but you saw them really add on

239
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 2: to a lot of this stuff and they were able

240
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 2: to stay ahead of the curve. And I think that's

241
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 2: going to be interesting now. It took them a little

242
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 2: bit of time to go from winless to six and

243
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 2: seven to thirteen and zero, and I don't know how

244
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 2: quickly u CLA can make that. You know, we'll see

245
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 2: how good you know, Dorian Thompson Robinson is, and we'll

246
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 2: see how good you know, some of the skill pieces

247
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:34,199
Speaker 2: around him, because I don't think it is right and

248
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,839
Speaker 2: like a're going to be relying on freshmen or I

249
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 2: think to give them a big spark and make some impact,

250
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 2: and it's going to be an uphill climb.

251
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 3: You mentioned spending time in Seattle with Chris Peterson and Washington.

252
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 3: This is now his He's been there since twenty fourteen,

253
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 3: so my quick math says this will be.

254
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: His fifth year in Seattle.

255
00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 3: How close is Washington to not necessarily with talent, not

256
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 3: necessarily with you know, on field results, which obviously is

257
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,439
Speaker 3: getting closer and closer, But is Washington getting to that

258
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:13,719
Speaker 3: premiere level in terms of the the infrastructure of a

259
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 3: year in, year out, double digit win program where they

260
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 3: can just year over year, plug and play and become

261
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 3: basically the Pac twelve's version of you know, Clemson, Ohio State, Alabama, whoever, Oklahoma.

262
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 3: How close is Washington to that level of infrastructure?

263
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 2: I think they're right now where it is maybe with Oklahoma.

264
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 2: The difference to me between you know, Clemson and Alabama

265
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 2: and all the other ones in that group, and I

266
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 2: put Ohio State and with the other new with Clemson

267
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 2: and Ohio and Alabama. Is just the ability to load

268
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 2: up on big line of scrimmage difference maker kind of guys.

269
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 2: You know, it's not to say that Washington hasn't had

270
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 2: any of them. Vitave certainly is that or was that,

271
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 2: But I just think you see it with offensive line guys,

272
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 2: and I think you certainly see it with front seven guys.

273
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 2: Now they have some. I think in the back end

274
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 2: they definitely have it. The area where I think they

275
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 2: are most needy is they need some of these young

276
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 2: receivers who they just signed, who aren't there yet to

277
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 2: come in and make an impact. You know, they have

278
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 2: Chigo mcclatcher, who's a good He's kind of when you

279
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 2: look at him and say, okay, he's kind of an

280
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 2: X factor guy in terms of some of the stuff

281
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 2: you can do with fly sweeps and different things like that.

282
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 2: He was out the spring, he missed last year. I

283
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 2: think they need him, not necessarily to be a complete

284
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 2: go to guy. But then there's other guys. Ty Jones,

285
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 2: who's big, rangy, not super fast, but he has some athleticism,

286
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 2: but they need him to be a reliable go to guy,

287
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 2: especially in the red zone, and there's other receivers that

288
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 2: they need to really blossom. Run game, I think they

289
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 2: should be good. I think Miles Gaskins really underrated, not

290
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 2: the biggest running back in the country, but he is.

291
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 2: He's explosive, he's really smart. I think they can count

292
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 2: on him. You know, he fits with what they're doing,

293
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 2: and so that helps, you know, you just get at

294
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 2: I think Chris Peterson is really about as good as

295
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 2: there is a developing a team and building it that

296
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 2: way because he is so smart in you know, when

297
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 2: you talk about building a culture, I think he gets it.

298
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 2: You saw that at Boise and you I think you've

299
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 2: seen it now. Obviously he's I mean, to me, he's

300
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 2: one of the five best coaches in college football. And

301
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 2: it's not necessarily because he's loading up on five star

302
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 2: guys every year. I mean, I think it's it's not

303
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 2: it's it's harder to do it when you don't have

304
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 2: you know, maybe the same you know ability and the

305
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 2: same level of school's commitment or at Geographically, there's just

306
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 2: not as many of those kinds of guys with a

307
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 2: within an our flight of Seattle. It's just not. So

308
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 2: that's the part that's going to be I think they're

309
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 2: ready to take the next big step. I think that

310
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 2: we're going to find out a lot more in their

311
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 2: opener because they play Auburn and that's basically a de

312
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 2: facto home game for Auburn and not a big statement

313
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 2: I think for the Pac twelve as well, so year.

314
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 3: In, year out, and I guess we'll just shift to

315
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 3: another team that wears purple. TCU is another team that

316
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 3: has built a culture. They just gearing in year out,

317
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 3: win much more often than not. They go to the

318
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 3: Big Twelve championship game last year and get throttled from

319
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 3: by Oklahoma once again. But you spend a little bit

320
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 3: of time in Fort Worth, is there anything striking about

321
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 3: what's new? Or is it, you know, a business as

322
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 3: usual in a very good way for the Frogs.

323
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 2: I think what's different about them because I've been going

324
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 2: there pretty much for like the last ten years, like

325
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 2: in the offseason either you know, every other year or so.

326
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 2: And to me, what's different is the caliber of big

327
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:06,920
Speaker 2: people he has been able to get, especially in the

328
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 2: last few years. Their d line is pretty impressive. You know,

329
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 2: when you have a six four three hundred and thirty

330
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 2: pound athletic, athletic guy like lost Blacklock. I think that

331
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 2: is something you just haven't seen them have that kind

332
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,360
Speaker 2: of option. You know, in the middle of their defense.

333
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,159
Speaker 2: They had linebackers who can run, and what you know

334
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 2: he was able to do when he got that thing

335
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 2: really cranked up, was they would take you know, former

336
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:39,640
Speaker 2: running backs and different guys and turn them into defensive lineman.

337
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,879
Speaker 2: You know, the Jerry Hughes guys and everything. But I

338
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 2: think that is now really changed because they have so

339
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 2: many really impressive guys with good feet who are big.

340
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 2: I mean, Blacklock's the best example of it, but there's

341
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 2: other guys who are behind him who I think would

342
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 2: have started and played sixty six these snaps a game,

343
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 2: and now there are guys that maybe can play thirty

344
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 2: because they're just deeper there. You know Ben Managu who's

345
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 2: a developmental guy who started out Louisiana Monroe and is

346
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 2: a local guy who's there. You know, he's a good

347
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 2: edge rusher. They have a lot of good linebackers, safeties,

348
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 2: and I think but he's so good at being Patterson

349
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 2: is he's the defensive coordinator. No head coaches any more

350
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 2: hands on on the defensive side of the ball than him,

351
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 2: and he develops them and prepares him so well. People

352
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 2: have seen the success. The facilities are good, No, the

353
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 2: stadiums not huge, but they're in a talent hub in

354
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 2: that DFW area, so you see it with the how

355
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 2: it's carry it over. I mean, they have pretty athletic

356
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 2: receivers that are young guys. You know Jalen Riegers, come on,

357
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 2: they have you know, he was impressive last year. They

358
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 2: have a couple of freshmen they registered at Tay Barber

359
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,400
Speaker 2: as an early enrol league kid who who I think

360
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 2: Clemson tried to get on late. They're really excited about him.

361
00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 2: So you know, whether I think it's going to be

362
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 2: Robinson who started a little bit last year when Kenny

363
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 2: Hill got hurt, and he's a physical runner. You know,

364
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 2: we'll see, you know how he is, how accurate and

365
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 2: consistent he can be. But I think if the offensive line,

366
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 2: which has got to be overhauled somewhat because they lost

367
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 2: some guys, if their offensive line can gel, I think

368
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 2: they should be a double digit win team.

369
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,360
Speaker 3: Interesting, let's go to another school that you spent time

370
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:30,119
Speaker 3: I guess a former Big twelve school and the talent

371
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,639
Speaker 3: issue to me seems relevant. So you go to Lincoln, Nebraska,

372
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 3: and a lot is made, obviously and rightfully so, of

373
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 3: Scott Frost coming home and bringing this big, high octane

374
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 3: Oregon and UCF offense to Lincoln and overhauling everything. What

375
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 3: is the actual talent level in Lincoln right now?

376
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 2: I think it's better than I had initially thought it was.

377
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:50,680
Speaker 1: Okay.

378
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 2: The areas where I think it's good is they have

379
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 2: three legit receivers who I think would play almost anywhere.

380
00:19:57,960 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 2: You know. One of them has been there for a while,

381
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:04,879
Speaker 2: Stanley Morgan. He's a Louisiana kid. He's physical and he's productive.

382
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 2: You know, six', one about two hundred. Pounds they are

383
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 2: super high on him because he's what they're looking for

384
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,880
Speaker 2: just in terms of the, toughness the physicality to buy.

385
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,880
Speaker 2: In and they HAD. Jd spielman not had a really

386
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 2: good freshman. Year return, guy slot, guy tough. Kid you.

387
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 2: Know his Uncle's Chris. Spielman his father is THE gm

388
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 2: of The, Vikings Rick. Spielman he was a good player last.

389
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 2: YEAR i think he's only you, know continue to get.

390
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 2: Better the other one Is Tai John lindsay was a

391
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 2: former five star recruit had been committed To Ohio. State

392
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 2: he struggled last. Year he wasn't mentally, ready you, know

393
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 2: as a true. Freshman Everything i've heard from the guys

394
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 2: WHEN i was down there was he has really bought

395
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 2: in and he. Is he is matured a, lot AND

396
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 2: i think that both players and coaches see. It and

397
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,920
Speaker 2: he's so good in. SPACE i think that will really help.

398
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 2: Them so, THERE i think they're really. Good and obviously

399
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 2: with the, SYSTEM i think that boats. Well offensive LINE

400
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:04,159
Speaker 2: i think is nowhere near what you would have expected

401
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 2: A nebraska front to. Be they do have some experience up.

402
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 2: THERE i think a big key and we saw this

403
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 2: in the spring. Game Adrian, martinez who had been committed To,

404
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:17,479
Speaker 2: tennessee you, know would have gone there if Which jones.

405
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 2: Did he every that has made. MATURITY i think he.

406
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 2: Is he's the, future if not the, present of this.

407
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 2: Offense you, know he's he's. In you look at. Him

408
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 2: he's not like a strong. Kid he looks like he's

409
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 2: a quarterback who's twenty, one not you, know should still

410
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,160
Speaker 2: be in high. School you, know we'll see he's coming

411
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 2: off a shoulder. Injury SO i don't know if he's

412
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,159
Speaker 2: quite one hundred percent in terms of where they want

413
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 2: him to be on, that but you, KNOW i think

414
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 2: if he's the, GUY i think that is a building

415
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 2: block for them for a. While if, NOT i would

416
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 2: say it's maybe you Know Tristan, jevia who's kind of

417
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 2: from where you're. From, yeah same hythleticism, too, yep, yeah

418
00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 2: AND i know people like him. Too so so those

419
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 2: are two decent, options especially because they're so. Young on

420
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 2: the defensive side of the, ball they have some pretty

421
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 2: good d linemen who played a, lot, so you, know the,

422
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 2: secondary WHICH i thought should have been better than it

423
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,119
Speaker 2: was last. Year they had some injuries and just it

424
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:19,679
Speaker 2: was kind of. Disconnect they've done well with SOME jc

425
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 2: transfers who are already in. There there's so the parts

426
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 2: WHERE i see where it's questionable is they don't have

427
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 2: a quarterback with. Experience that's an obvious. Thing they do

428
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:31,399
Speaker 2: not have a, true you, know workhorse running back at

429
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 2: this point to have between durability issues and. Whatnot AND

430
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 2: i think there is some question mark in the in

431
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 2: the defense where there's no real dominant. Player there's certainly

432
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:49,680
Speaker 2: nothing like in dominicant, two but there's nothing even close to,

433
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 2: that but that you could say about a lot of.

434
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 2: Schools to, me this team WHEN i saw, them compared

435
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 2: to like SEEING, Ucla nebraska has considerably more. TALENT i

436
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 2: think that he does right. Now, wow super Interesting and

437
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:03,640
Speaker 2: they won four games last?

438
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 1: Year they did win four?

439
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:08,640
Speaker 3: Games and what sense did you get spending time Around

440
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 3: Scott frost spending time around the staff?

441
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 1: There the job he's doing just in terms of.

442
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 3: Managing, people managing expectations given it sort of Like Golden

443
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,640
Speaker 3: boy Comes. Home we don't see a lot of coaches

444
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 3: going back to their alma mater and succeeding with A

445
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,160
Speaker 3: i guess a super high. Rate paul Christ is done

446
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 3: a really good job in that, division but that was

447
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 3: a well oiled machine basically when he got. There what

448
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 3: Is Scott? Frost what has his experience been early on

449
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 3: just in dealing with that type of fish, bowl eyeball.

450
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:43,400
Speaker 2: Environment you, KNOW i don't think he's really worried about

451
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 2: managing expectations too. MUCH i spent a good amount of

452
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:50,359
Speaker 2: time with, him and there wasn't a lot of off the.

453
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,879
Speaker 2: Record these kids, suck so you, know don't. Whatever, NOW

454
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 2: i think realistically this is probably a six or seven when,

455
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 2: team because you look at their schedule and there's going

456
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 2: to be a bunch games where they have a chance to,

457
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 2: win But i'm not sure they, will especially with an

458
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 2: inexperienced quarterback and you, know a defense that was horrible last.

459
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 2: Year SO i think people know you don't go from

460
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 2: four and a to ten and two no matter who

461
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 2: the coach, is, Realistically SO i think he's, like you know,

462
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,159
Speaker 2: what this is what the expectation is going to. Be

463
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 2: our team is going to play, Harder we're going to

464
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 2: be more, competitive we are going to be. Tougher AND

465
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 2: i know the fan base and these people well enough

466
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 2: to know they're going to see, that and they're smart

467
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 2: enough to know that's what we. Want that's the direction

468
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 2: we need to go, in and they know it's not

469
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 2: gonna you, know it's not realistic to. Expect, okay this

470
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,880
Speaker 2: guy took a team that was winless and then within

471
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 2: two years, later. I'mdefeated like year, two we're going to be.

472
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 2: UNDEFEATED i don't think he expects, that but you, KNOW

473
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 2: i don't think he'd be thrilled THAT i say. This

474
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:54,159
Speaker 2: BUT i think by year, THREE i think they're a

475
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 2: top fifteen team by year, two especially one of these

476
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 2: quarterbacks really. Blossoms and this IS i think they'd have

477
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:04,159
Speaker 2: a chance to be it by year or, two to

478
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 2: be a team that's a legit top twenty five.

479
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 3: Team sort of, related AND i wonder about this from

480
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 3: time to, time not all that. Often why Doesn't Bo

481
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 3: polini have a bigger job at this? Point is he

482
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 3: that objectionable as a manager leader type or is it

483
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 3: just he had his shot and is sort of happy In.

484
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 2: Youngstown you, know that's an interesting question just because you

485
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,159
Speaker 2: look and his. Record you, KNOW i think he was

486
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,119
Speaker 2: there six. Years only one year he didn't have a

487
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 2: top twenty five, finish and if you look across the,

488
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,120
Speaker 2: board that's a lot better than a lot of people

489
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 2: who get. Jobs his team seem to like, him but

490
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 2: his sideline demeanor was so volatile THAT i think that

491
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:52,399
Speaker 2: makes ads and presidents a little, uncomfortable especially as you

492
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 2: get further and further down, this you, know down this

493
00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:02,400
Speaker 2: road of. Decorum, sure especially with you, know back when

494
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:05,119
Speaker 2: both of us were growing, up especially WHEN i was

495
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 2: growing up Because i'm, older where it was like you

496
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 2: just didn't have so many, Games everything wasn't ON, tv

497
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 2: there weren't so many cameras on. People there wasn't social

498
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:18,399
Speaker 2: media to, like you, know let's, say you, know The

499
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,680
Speaker 2: Woody hayes example is you, know again The Gator bowl

500
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 2: or whatever with The clemson hitting The clemson. Linebacker you

501
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 2: know that there's video of. It BUT i just think

502
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 2: in this day and, age when something like, that maybe

503
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,200
Speaker 2: that's you, know even a stronger example of, it but

504
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 2: something even less you, know holy you, know holy shipped

505
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 2: kind of component to. IT i just think that that

506
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 2: would get everything blows. Up and so because of, THAT

507
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:48,439
Speaker 2: i think there's a certain schools that you just couldn't see,

508
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:50,680
Speaker 2: both you, know saying, hey we're going to hire A

509
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:55,680
Speaker 2: bopolini and roll the dice on. THAT i don't, know you,

510
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:57,879
Speaker 2: know if you're if You're, illinois and let's say it

511
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 2: doesn't work out With Lovey, smith you turn around to

512
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 2: go To bopolini and, like you know what this guy can?

513
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:08,159
Speaker 2: Win mm, hm you, know do we do? This you,

514
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 2: know certainly THEY'RE i don't know if he would even

515
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,640
Speaker 2: think of a mac job as anymore is a big

516
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 2: step up from where he's, at you, know in his

517
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 2: and his coaching and his basically in his backyard, now

518
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:24,879
Speaker 2: so clearly he knows what he's. Doing it's just that

519
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 2: stuff On SATURDAYS i think makes people.

520
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:31,239
Speaker 3: Uncomfortable, Wow, OKAY i just you see coaches freak out

521
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 3: all the time and say, weird stupid, things and they

522
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,920
Speaker 3: everybody seems to be getting more and more, chances and

523
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 3: he's developed a ton OF nfl. Talent BUT i, guess,

524
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:44,200
Speaker 3: yeah it's it's an, individual case by case. Thing this

525
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:47,879
Speaker 3: is also a season of aside from teams practicing and

526
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 3: new coaches getting a first look at their, talent it's

527
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 3: talent getting a first look at new. Coaches because we are,

528
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 3: squarely if not at the back end of the grad transfer.

529
00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:02,119
Speaker 3: Markets what are names that people should know that the,

530
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 3: expectation obviously as a grad transfer that they will make

531
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 3: an immediate impact as somebody, experienced AND i suppose moving

532
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:11,400
Speaker 3: up to a higher profile.

533
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 2: Platform, WELL i would start With Calvin, anderson who Left

534
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 2: rice and had all sorts of. Interest, yep he was

535
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 2: a two star offensive lineman From, austin played really, well he's,

536
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 2: incredible incredibly. Intelligent YouTube any of this stuff about him

537
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 2: with you, know GOING rubishu backwards and forward without you,

538
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 2: know looking all this other, stuff but he's got really good.

539
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 2: FEET i Think herb handed recruit him At auburn and

540
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 2: then was able to actually close the deal and get

541
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 2: him At. Texas certainly they lost In Connor, williams a

542
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 2: really good, tackle AND i think that is a is

543
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 2: a key piece for. Them you, know they it's no,

544
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 2: secret you know they're going to probably end a drought

545
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 2: that was ten years long of not having an offensive

546
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 2: lineman even drafted in THE. Nfl AND i Think calvin

547
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:00,479
Speaker 2: is that guy WHO i Think i'm not saying he's

548
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 2: gonna be a first round, pick but you, know he's

549
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,479
Speaker 2: a really good talent AND i think he should fit

550
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 2: in well and be an impact. Guy you, know one

551
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 2: That i'm curious to see what's going to be is

552
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 2: Is Keller christ, who as you, know is played at

553
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 2: them for then lost his starting job to kJ. COSTELLO

554
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 2: i think there's probably pretty big expectations from The tennessee.

555
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 2: Fans we'll see if he can beat Out Jared guarantano

556
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 2: when he gets. There but you, know if if he does,

557
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 2: that because It's tennessee and because there's so much attention

558
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 2: on that program and it's the first year there For Jeremy.

559
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 2: PRUDE i think they'll Be that'll be an interesting. One

560
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 2: and then you, KNOW i would look at the flip

561
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 2: side of that is a guy Like Gardner, minshew who

562
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 2: is At East, carolina had been a. Starter will he

563
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 2: Become Mike leach's trigger. Man he had been a you,

564
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 2: know he'd been committed To alabama and knew it was

565
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 2: a long shot that he would he would play there

566
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 2: with the quarterbacks, there but you, know from his, perspective

567
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 2: he wants to be a coach and learning From Nick

568
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 2: saban would be. GOOD i think he knows that he

569
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 2: can Learn Mike leech's system and there is a big

570
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 2: need for a new quarterback, there so you, know there's

571
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 2: a chance to put up a lot of numbers in

572
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 2: that system up in. Pullman so that's another ONE i

573
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 2: WOULD i would keep an eye. On you, know just

574
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 2: in terms of a stats, perspective we.

575
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 3: Are sort Of i'll stay On alabama a little, bit

576
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 3: but we're sort of in an era where an, incoming super,

577
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 3: type blue, chip true freshman quarterback is now it's assumed

578
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 3: he's going to push anybody that's even a little bit,

579
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 3: less anybody that's a little bit less than. Excellence and

580
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 3: we saw it last year With Jake from And Jacob.

581
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 3: Eason we saw it a few years ago With Deshaun

582
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 3: watson And Cole, stout who obviously was not a blue

583
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 3: chip and sort of game changing quarterback For. Clemson but

584
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 3: now this year we have Now Jake from supposedly not

585
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 3: necessarily being, pushed but sharing a depth chart with one

586
00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 3: of those blue chip. Types we Have Trevor Lawrence. Clemson

587
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 3: we last year had two attack Of. Biloa it's tongue Of.

588
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 1: AILOA i. BELIEVE i want to get that.

589
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 2: RIGHT i believe so.

590
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 3: Too, yeah tongue iiloah sort of Supplanting Jalen hurts at

591
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 3: least in The National championship, game and their stories About

592
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 3: Jalen hurts. Transferring are are any of these new? Guys

593
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 3: SO i Guess lawrence And fields comparable to previous situations

594
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 3: at those schools where a true freshman immediately supplanted the.

595
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 2: Incumbent you, KNOW i think the one probably most likely

596
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 2: to overtake the guy could Be lawrence At. Clemson you, Know,

597
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 2: Yeah clemson went to the playoff last. YEAR i Think Kelly,

598
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 2: bryants you, know had a good. Season but when you

599
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 2: look at his passing, numbers there was a lot left

600
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 2: to be, desired and you don't want to read a

601
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 2: ton into a spring, game but there were some shots

602
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 2: he missed. Downfield you can see the frustration when he.

603
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 2: Missed him And lawrence hit some big throws in that,

604
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 2: game and there's a ton of hyph. BUILDING i, mean

605
00:31:57,960 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 2: let's not forget there was like another five star guys

606
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 2: also in between them And Hunter, johnson and you know

607
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 2: they got good. Receivers the expectations on that team are sky,

608
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 2: high especially with the guys who decided to come back on.

609
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 2: Defense so to, ME i would check, that put a

610
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 2: check mark next to that. One you, know as good

611
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 2: AS i Think Justin field, is AND i think, he's you,

612
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 2: know ultra, talented maybe even more talented Than Trevor, lawrence

613
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 2: but you know he's he's trying to overtake a guy

614
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 2: And Jake frumb who led his team to a national title.

615
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 2: Game and also when you look At george's, SCHEDULE i

616
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 2: don't know where the game after a long, cold you,

617
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 2: know could be a tricky spots after LINE i think

618
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 2: is pretty, good but there's a good chance that they

619
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 2: Will they've En georgia will not play a team that

620
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 2: is in the top fifteen or top twenty even until

621
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 2: Mid november when they Play. Auburn. Wow and so when

622
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 2: you think about, that it's, like, okay they could just

623
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 2: kind of roll along business as, usual because If alabama

624
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 2: was Drilling, georgia let's, say there's probably no call to

625
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 2: Give tua that shot to kind of rescue. Them and

626
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 2: so if you're not really, CHALLENGED i think that you, know,

627
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 2: Yeah Justin fields will play in some you, know games

628
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 2: that turn out to be. Lopsided BUT i just don't

629
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 2: know how many meaningful under you, know in pressure situations

630
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 2: that he may get.

631
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 3: Is to a sure, THING i, mean not necessarily to,

632
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 3: start but it seems everybody remembers the one admittedly perfect

633
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 3: throw to end The National championship game and win it For,

634
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 3: Alabama but it seemed like every, play every other play before,

635
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 3: that he was sort of a wild, card as true

636
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 3: freshmen tend to. Be is does he strike you as somebody, That,

637
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 3: okay he wins the job Over Jalen, Hurts Jalen hurts,

638
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 3: Transfers tua is, dependable, consistent you, know everything that people

639
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 3: thought he would after that? Throw or is there a

640
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 3: pretty significant unknown quantity to.

641
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:09,439
Speaker 2: HIM i, Mean i'm bullish on, him but there's still

642
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 2: some unknown AND i think people who are just, saying,

643
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:15,320
Speaker 2: Oh Jalen hurts is gonna leave are forgetting some of

644
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 2: the games that he won for. THEM i would go

645
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 2: back to when he's a freshman In Baton, rouge in

646
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 2: a tough place to, play where they are just you,

647
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 2: know in a slug fest where there's not a lot

648
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:30,919
Speaker 2: of yards to be, found where LSU's defense is pretty,

649
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 2: nasty and all of a, sudden basically the difference Was

650
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,279
Speaker 2: jalen hurts his. Wheels and it's not to say to

651
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 2: it it can't, run because he, can but JUST i

652
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 2: think you saw a guy who's more physical as a

653
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 2: runner than probably he's given credit, for and has the

654
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 2: toughness as a burst and that stuff which helps you win.

655
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 2: Games and also you, know, yeah they're not gonna they

656
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 2: weren't gonna take a ton of shots at. Risk like

657
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:00,879
Speaker 2: when they Played washington early in the, Game Jalen hurths

658
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 2: almost got picked off and you can kind of See

659
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 2: Lane kiffen And Nick saban just kind of throttled down and, Going,

660
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 2: okay we can win this. Game Being alabama. Football we

661
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:14,880
Speaker 2: don't need to try to go Have Baker mayfield run

662
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:18,920
Speaker 2: the show. Here AND i just think that's a little

663
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 2: bit of a. Departure if you look at what they

664
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:24,879
Speaker 2: have won national titles. With ever Since Nick saban's got,

665
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:29,720
Speaker 2: there there has been no like lights, out big, time

666
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:33,319
Speaker 2: stretch the field pass OR aj mccerrn's pretty. Good but they,

667
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:36,359
Speaker 2: haven't you, know just look across the. Board they've had

668
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:39,719
Speaker 2: quote unquote game manager. TIGHTS i know, that's you, know

669
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:44,360
Speaker 2: an unfair, cliche but they know they have an elite

670
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:47,880
Speaker 2: defense as elite as it. Gets they have physical running

671
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 2: game with a good offensive. Line, yeah they got really

672
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:52,880
Speaker 2: good receivers, Too BUT i just think they know our

673
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 2: bread and butter is we don't need to get too

674
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 2: fancy to win a ton of. Games and, again you

675
00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 2: look at the schedule they, have THEY i don't what

676
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 2: are they going to play one top twenty team in

677
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 2: the regular? Season maybe that might be.

678
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 3: It, wow another team THAT i think has has lost a,

679
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,400
Speaker 3: lot but WAS i think they finished the season twelfth

680
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,319
Speaker 3: in the top twenty. Five and you've spent some time around.

681
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 3: THERE usc has to replace a lot of different pieces

682
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:20,920
Speaker 3: on different.

683
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:22,360
Speaker 1: Levels on both sides of the.

684
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 3: Ball how DIFFERENT i guess will they look and are

685
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:28,320
Speaker 3: they actually going to start a what should be a

686
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:29,239
Speaker 3: high school senior at.

687
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:32,960
Speaker 2: QUARTERBACK i think they will end up STARTING. Jt, daniels

688
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,840
Speaker 2: that high school, senior NOT. Jt. Daniels and you, know in,

689
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 2: actuality he's turned. Eighteen. Ok, yeah he's pretty much the

690
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:44,279
Speaker 2: same age as most incoming freshmen. Are so from that,

691
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 2: standpoint he's very. TALENTED i think the best thing for

692
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:50,759
Speaker 2: him is he's going to have a really really good

693
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 2: group of. RECEIVERS i mean what they have And Tyler

694
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 2: vaughns And Michael, pittman and now you're going to add

695
00:36:57,160 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 2: on his, Guy i'm On Ross Saint, brown who everybody

696
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:04,760
Speaker 2: thinks is going to be a really big time college.

697
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 2: Receiver so that's a plus, now you, know Without Sam.

698
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 2: Darnold the other thing Is Ronald jones was a really explosive.

699
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 2: Back now he wasn't great in the receiving, game BUT

700
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:18,479
Speaker 2: i think, that you, know leaning on The Stephen carr

701
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:20,879
Speaker 2: if he gets healthy he missed the, SPRING i think

702
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 2: that's a big TIME usc. Back i'm not sure you

703
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 2: know how special the guys behind him. Are the offensive

704
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 2: line has been really underwhelming for much of the last,

705
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:39,239
Speaker 2: decade AND i don't expect them to be to be

706
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:42,880
Speaker 2: at the upper level of offensive line groups in the. Country,

707
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:46,520
Speaker 2: defensively they have more depth now than they, did you

708
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:49,440
Speaker 2: know in the last few. Years you, Know Porter gustin's

709
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:51,480
Speaker 2: a really good pass. Rusher as long as he stays,

710
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:54,560
Speaker 2: HEALTHY i think he'll be really productive in a loss

711
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:57,800
Speaker 2: To Chennan, Nuosu WHO'S i think their best player on

712
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:02,279
Speaker 2: defense secondary is is pretty, good BUT i don't think

713
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:04,279
Speaker 2: it's much more than. That but LIKE i, said they

714
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 2: do have more depth back. THERE i don't think there's

715
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 2: a guy in the on THE d line itself who

716
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:13,320
Speaker 2: is a special. Like there's No Leonard williams or anything

717
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:15,800
Speaker 2: close to that right. Now and to, me that's the

718
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 2: part that WHEN usc was was on top of the

719
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 2: college football, world they're close to. IT usc, had you,

720
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:27,919
Speaker 2: know big time studs up. Front you can go back

721
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 2: to Uh Sham clady was a good, Player Mike patterson

722
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:37,120
Speaker 2: was a great. Player Kenichi, daisy who actually coaches these guys,

723
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:40,360
Speaker 2: now is a really good pass. Rusher, Certainly Cedric ellis

724
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 2: was a monster when he was going and then when

725
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:45,920
Speaker 2: they got hit by the. Scholarships you Had Leonard, williams

726
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 2: who is a who is a real stud and but

727
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 2: even like the layers below, that you, know Like Frosty

728
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:56,879
Speaker 2: rucker and and guys like that who's had a LONG nfl. Career, now,

729
00:38:57,960 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 2: uh you know you look at some of Those jarrell

730
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:02,959
Speaker 2: K i, mean those guys were good. PLAYERS i don't

731
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 2: know if they have anybody who's even And Jerrell casey's

732
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 2: trying out to be a BETTER nfl player than probably people.

733
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 2: Thought But i'm just, saying, like those guys were really good.

734
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:15,320
Speaker 2: Players AND i think that's WHERE usc on both the

735
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:18,840
Speaker 2: offensive line and defensive line has really dropped a notch

736
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 2: or two below where they where would come to expect.

737
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:24,279
Speaker 2: Them and maybe they'll get back to that, point but

738
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 2: THEY i just don't think they've been able to develop

739
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:30,439
Speaker 2: linemen the way they used. To and so IF. Jt

740
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 2: daniels is really really good and hits the ground, running

741
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 2: you know they should be able to win ten. Games

742
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:39,360
Speaker 2: if he's not and they and he looks like a

743
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 2: true freshman playing in A power five conference at, quarterback

744
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 2: you know they could go eight and, four and that's

745
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:47,920
Speaker 2: not a good place to be if You're Clay, helton

746
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 2: BECAUSE i don't think he's getting the benefit of the

747
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:53,480
Speaker 2: doubt from a lot OF usc fan, bases even though he's.

748
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:56,560
Speaker 2: Won he's won A Rose bowl and won A pack twelve.

749
00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 2: TITLE i just think people are looking and, GOING i don't,

750
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:01,359
Speaker 2: Know i'd rather have the who's coaching The bruins right?

751
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:05,680
Speaker 3: Now and, finally you spent some time In, eugene So

752
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 3: i'll be selfish, here BUT i know we do have
