1 00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:06,000 Speaker 1: Rock Perty is headed for a big payday in San Francisco, 2 00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:10,240 Speaker 1: while Matthew Stafford is still wondering where exactly he's going 3 00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,600 Speaker 1: to get his The state of the NFC West is 4 00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:17,640 Speaker 1: at stake. We've got the latest on both those contract situations. 5 00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:21,239 Speaker 1: Abdul Carter says he is the number one player in 6 00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:25,240 Speaker 1: the country and therefore he should go number one overall. 7 00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:29,440 Speaker 1: But can he hold off Travis Hunter, the quarterbacks and 8 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:33,080 Speaker 1: others through the pre draft process. Hear more from what 9 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 1: Carter had to say. Also going to hear from Mike McDonald, 10 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,480 Speaker 1: the head coach of the Seattle Seahawks, the only ten 11 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:44,200 Speaker 1: win team to miss the playoffs in recent years. How 12 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,960 Speaker 1: do they get over the rest of that hump? Matthew 13 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,639 Speaker 1: Stafford leaving would certainly help, but there's a lot more 14 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 1: to it. Welcome inside with the insiders at the combine 15 00:00:54,880 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 1: alongside Judy Matista, Mike Garriffullo and Ian Rappaport and Tom 16 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 1: Pelicero right down there on the field. Earlier today we 17 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 1: had the Kicking and Punting Expedition. Watched what was actually 18 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 1: called one called the expedition had a name name. Anyway, 19 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 1: there's kickers and punters that were doing stuff. How do 20 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:19,039 Speaker 1: they tomorrow? We'll find out later in the show. Pat 21 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,400 Speaker 1: mcavee is going to make an appearance here to help 22 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 1: us break all that down. We el Scott brad Holmes, 23 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 1: the Lions DM on the show tonight in the Casario 24 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,679 Speaker 1: the Texans GM Chargers DM Joe Ortiz. There is a 25 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 1: ton to get to, but let's start out with one 26 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,319 Speaker 1: of the top quarterbacks in the NFL who wants to 27 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 1: be paid like one. That is Rams quarterback still Matthew Stafford, 28 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 1: who has had permission in recent weeks to speak with 29 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 1: other teams through his agent about potentially signing a contract 30 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 1: elsewhere and what that would look like. That of course 31 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: had a twofold impact for the Rams try out, with 32 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 1: the fact that it allows them to figure out what 33 00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,919 Speaker 1: a contract with them should look like if Stafford stays 34 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 1: in LA. Sean McVay said on it podcast that is 35 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 1: the goal. He wants to keep this g as he 36 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 1: calls him in LA, but also said there's other things 37 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 1: involved here, including the compensation they could get in a 38 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 1: trade and the money involved. There was also an overstated 39 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 1: Internet rumor earlier today that Matthew Stafford had moved in 40 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,239 Speaker 1: with Tom Brady for a while, and he's getting the 41 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 1: over three pitch. They were skiing, they were doing bro stuff. 42 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 1: He was staying in his house. I talked to Brady's 43 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,080 Speaker 1: longtime agent Don Yee, who told me, I know that 44 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 1: reporters sometimes make mistakes in their haste, but this story's inaccurate. 45 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,080 Speaker 1: The only thing I would say is inaccurate in that 46 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 1: in that statement he was using the word reporters. 47 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 2: Don Yee said that to you. They say it to 48 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 2: your face. 49 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: Don Yee told me that to your face on the phone. 50 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:47,960 Speaker 2: On the phone, Okay, he. 51 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 1: Was a little bit further away. 52 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 3: Uh. 53 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 1: Brock Birdy, of course, is entering year four. He's now 54 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 1: eligible for a contract extension. That is the commitment for 55 00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 1: the forty nine ers. John Lynch affirmed that today, said 56 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,079 Speaker 1: that negotiations are underway. This may take some time, but 57 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 1: according to Lynch, they know what they want the outcome 58 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 1: to be. 59 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 4: We have started negotiations. We're talking. 60 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 5: I won't go into negotiations like always is our stance. 61 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,639 Speaker 4: Want brought to be our quarterback as. 62 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:21,079 Speaker 5: Long as we're here and and beyond and and we'll 63 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 5: leave it at that. I think the final thing there's 64 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 5: no guarantees that we get something done, but my experience 65 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 5: has been when both sides are motivated, there's ample opportunity 66 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 5: to do so, and we've we've been able to do that. 67 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 4: So we're on good terms with Deebo. 68 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 5: I think, you know, he's asked for a for a 69 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 5: fresh start, and you know, I think we're going to 70 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 5: honor that. Don't like seeing great players, and he is 71 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 5: a great player. 72 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 4: He's, you know, I. 73 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 5: Think often one of my favorite draft picks in my 74 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 5: time's guy's just a he makes plays, and he makes 75 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 5: game changing plays, and you know, everything's good, you know, 76 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 5: but I think at some point time, time happens. 77 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 1: There's also questions living around the future of Derek Carr 78 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 1: in New Orleans, with a new staff there, including Kellen Moore. Well, 79 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 1: Carr and Moore have been having talks already about the future. GM. 80 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 1: Mickey Loomis said today the team plans to stick with 81 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,600 Speaker 1: Derek Carr, saying he's excited for Carr to return. More 82 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:23,279 Speaker 1: on that from Garafollo in a second. The Packers maybe 83 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,599 Speaker 1: not as excited about JayR Alexander's future. Following a very 84 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 1: frustrating season for everybody involved in twenty twenty four. As 85 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 1: Ian reported earlier today the Packers have engaged in trade 86 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:38,160 Speaker 1: talks with JayR Alexander. My understanding is Brian Goodakun spoke 87 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 1: with Jayra directly about that, said that they are going 88 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: to explore things. He's got two years and thirty seven 89 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,600 Speaker 1: million dollars left on his contract here for a guy 90 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 1: who has been one of the top paid defensive backs 91 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 1: in recent years. We'll see what direction that ends up going. 92 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 1: A lot of going on here obviously at the combine. Ian, 93 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 1: tell me what was the most interesting thing that happened 94 00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 1: to you or that you heard today. 95 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,359 Speaker 6: Well, let's talk about the Matthew Stafford situation. Obviously some 96 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 6: of the focuses on You mentioned the Tom Brady interaction, 97 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 6: and yes, Tom Brady and Matthew Stafford did bumped into 98 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,719 Speaker 6: each other at Yellowstone in Montana, apparently skied together. 99 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 7: That seemed to be the end of it. 100 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 6: But we have known that the Las Vegas Raiders and 101 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,720 Speaker 6: the New York Giants have had interest in Matthew Stafford 102 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 6: for some time. And considering the fact that his Asian 103 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:26,919 Speaker 6: Jimmy Sexon does in fact have permission to engage with 104 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,279 Speaker 6: these teams, and just see what his value might be 105 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 6: if there was in fact that trade. Not allowed to 106 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,720 Speaker 6: negotiate trade compensation, but is allowed to discuss salary. So yeah, 107 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,720 Speaker 6: these are two teams that do need a quarterback and 108 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 6: that are interested. And actually, the Las Vegas Raiders do 109 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 6: make a ton of sense for Matthew Stafford if, for instance, 110 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,039 Speaker 6: he wanted to still live in Malibu. It's a forty 111 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 6: minute flight from California to Las Vegas. It's a team 112 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 6: where you could drop a quarterback in and conceivably begin 113 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 6: the process of winning, which obviously is something that want. 114 00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 6: We know that Brady has been aggressive and the Raiders 115 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 6: have been aggresive in trying to land a starting quarterback. 116 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:06,040 Speaker 7: This makes sense. However, the Rams duel the cards. They 117 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 7: can trade him or. 118 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,840 Speaker 6: Not, they can decide whether they want to pay Stafford 119 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:10,160 Speaker 6: or not. 120 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 7: So this is not done yet with Matthew Stafford in 121 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:13,040 Speaker 7: the RAM. 122 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 8: Meanwhile, we've been talking about who holds the cards in 123 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:19,360 Speaker 8: the Derek Carr Saints situation right now, and I've made 124 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,119 Speaker 8: the point that really both sides do. But Mickey Loomis today, 125 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 8: the general manager of the Saints, speaking with reporters, indicated 126 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 8: that the team will stick with Derek Carr, saying quote, 127 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 8: we feel unfortunate to have Derek here, the experience he has, 128 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,159 Speaker 8: he's a big time quarterback in this league. I'm sorry 129 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,799 Speaker 8: that was Kellen Morris quote, but Mickey Loomis also expressing 130 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,839 Speaker 8: the quote, I think we've got a guy. 131 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:40,719 Speaker 4: We can win with. 132 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 8: But Loomis also did acknowledge that there's financial concerns here 133 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 8: because the Saints are so far over the cap, and 134 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,279 Speaker 8: there could be a cash concern as well. Derek Carr 135 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 8: is due to make forty million dollars per season. If 136 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,719 Speaker 8: the Saints want to do a simple restructure and convert 137 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 8: that into a signing bonus to spread the cap pit 138 00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,559 Speaker 8: going forward, but pay him the forty million, the Saints 139 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,720 Speaker 8: can make that decision. That's written into the contract at 140 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 8: standard language in contracts, we see it all the time. 141 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 1: But if there's going to be some kind. 142 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,039 Speaker 8: Of discussion about a restructure or a pay cut where 143 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 8: it changes how much Derek car is going to make 144 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 8: this season or moving forward, well then Car is going 145 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 8: to have a say in that regard, and I would 146 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 8: expect that he is going to resist that. 147 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 9: So, yes, Loomis has made. 148 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 8: It clear because we said Kellen Moore, maybe there was 149 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 8: a little bit of wiggle room. Now at least we 150 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 8: know that the Saints won him back, but until the 151 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 8: financial part has figured out, we don't know for sure 152 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 8: that that's going to happen. So we'll continue to keep 153 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 8: watching this. But clearly Mickey Loomis likes Derek Carr's quarterback. 154 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 10: Okay, And once the games actually start, some potential changes 155 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 10: on the horizon. First, let's start with overtime. The NFL 156 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 10: could be changing overtime in the regular season again. We 157 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 10: could be going to the rules we have in postseason overtime, 158 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 10: which means both teams get to touch the ball and 159 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 10: they keep playing sudden death no matter what happens after 160 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 10: the first team gets the ball, no matter what they 161 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 10: do field goal or touchdown, the second team would still 162 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 10: get to possess the ball at least once, and they 163 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 10: could play all the way to fifteen minutes. That is, 164 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 10: that would be a significant change that also has to 165 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 10: be voted on by owners, presumably at the March annual meeting. 166 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 10: And now this change is definitely going to happen. The 167 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 10: NFL is going to use virtual measurement to determine first downs. 168 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 10: The technology is finally in place in every stadium. 169 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: The chain crew is still. 170 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 11: Going to be there. 171 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 10: They will be No, we're not getting rid of them, 172 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 10: They will just be there as a backup, and an 173 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 10: official still has to physically spot the ball himself. But 174 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 10: then that hawkeye technology, the kind of thing they use 175 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 10: in tennis to determine line calls, that is going to 176 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 10: be used to determine if first downs have been gained. 177 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 1: That is a significant change. 178 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 12: For the NFL. 179 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 1: You love working through what that's going to look like 180 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 1: on the front end. The back end is all the 181 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,440 Speaker 1: cameras around to be able to spot the football. The 182 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 1: front end is what do you see on TV? What 183 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 1: do you show in the stadium, Because it's no longer 184 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 1: going to be two guys look like they're too old 185 00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,199 Speaker 1: to be the field ten running out there with the 186 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 1: chain when they're maybe unofficial without an index card, yes, 187 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 1: or the minor league baseball that's now going over to 188 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 1: major league baseball. It sounds like it will look something 189 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 1: like that, but they're still working through exactly what it's 190 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 1: going to be. There's also been a lot of discussion 191 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:16,439 Speaker 1: about expanded replay assists, the booth becoming involved in addressing 192 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 1: more penalties on the field. Back in the fall or 193 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 1: in December actually, at the league meeting, Troy Vincent had 194 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,559 Speaker 1: said there was an openness not just to expanding it 195 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 1: to even subjective types of calls, but having the Booth 196 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:31,439 Speaker 1: or New York be able to put down a flag 197 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: on plays like this involving Sam Darnold. However, what we 198 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 1: were told today is that there is zero interest from 199 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 1: the other members of the Competition Committee, not the league, 200 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 1: which sounds like they would like to expand to things 201 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 1: like this. Zero interests and it's a non starter to 202 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 1: have New York be able to put flags down onto 203 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 1: the field. That means, while they'll still be able to 204 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,079 Speaker 1: clean up certain types of fouls, including face mass, it 205 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 1: will be the ones that are thrown that they can 206 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: pick up if no flag is throwing, that even when 207 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 1: Sam Darnold gets his head ripped off right there, there 208 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 1: would still not be a foul. It's a process, it's incremental. 209 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 1: It continues to move forward here, the NFL draft process 210 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 1: moving forward here in Indianapolis, where the quarterbacks are on 211 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:18,600 Speaker 1: the scene. That includes Shador Sanders and Cam Ward. They're buddies. 212 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 1: They work out together but they're in competition to be 213 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 1: the top quarterback off the board. How's all this gonna 214 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,719 Speaker 1: shake out? Beginning this week at Indianapolis. Here's Rich Eyes 215 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 1: into Daniel Jeremiah. 216 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 3: Fella Scouting Combine on NFL Network twenty two. If you're 217 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,079 Speaker 3: scoring at home, Rich eyesing along with Daniel Jeremiah getting 218 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 3: set for four days of on field drills here in 219 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,439 Speaker 3: the home of the Indianapolis Colts. Get to see you, sir, 220 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,320 Speaker 3: You buddy, what are you looking forward to seeing the most, sir? 221 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 13: Well, there's a lot of depth in this draft. I've 222 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,840 Speaker 13: labeled it as a starter draft when you look at 223 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 13: what you can find, guys that you can plug and play, 224 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 13: and they're exciting and there's some great conversations to be 225 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,319 Speaker 13: had on these players. Rich Some years, you're talking about 226 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 13: will a player play outside at corner while we play 227 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 13: inside and maybe he's a guard, maybe he's a tackle. 228 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 13: This year, with Travis Hunter, we don't even know which 229 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 13: side of the ball we want him to play on 230 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:07,679 Speaker 13: and if he should be a full time player on 231 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 13: both sides of the ball like he was at Colorado. 232 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 7: One of the more. 233 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,960 Speaker 13: Dynamic players we've seen enter the NFL in the last 234 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 13: several years, and to me, one of the more fascinating 235 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 13: conversations that we're going to have this. 236 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:22,319 Speaker 3: Week, Heisman Trophy winner will be in the house. Just 237 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 3: they will not be any on field drills expected from 238 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 3: Travis Hunter. Same thing with the Shador Sanders, the quarterback 239 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 3: of Colorado Day one players that we're going to be 240 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 3: seeing out there on Thursday. It's the front seven to 241 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 3: start things off. You're looking forward to seeing here, Well, 242 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 3: we're going. 243 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:39,319 Speaker 4: To see a lot of defensive linemen. 244 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 13: It's an impressive group of defensive tackles and edge rushers, 245 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,560 Speaker 13: but it's a linebacker who I think could steal the show. 246 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,959 Speaker 13: And that's Jehad Campbell from Alabama, someone who played off 247 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,439 Speaker 13: the ball but was an on the ball pass rusher 248 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 13: coming out of high school. But due to the talent 249 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 13: at Alabama, hey, let's just get him on the field. 250 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 2: Let's play him off the ball. 251 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 4: This last year you got to. 252 00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 13: See him rushing a little off the edge, but primarily 253 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,439 Speaker 13: run in chase from that second level. And he is 254 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 13: dynamic and it's always fun to watch these types of 255 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 13: athletes in this setting. 256 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 4: Rich I think he's going to absolutely put on a show. 257 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 3: Forty yard dashes and on field drills again for defensive 258 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 3: linemen in front seven, Abdul Carter enters this combine your 259 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 3: top fifty, would you put him there? 260 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,679 Speaker 13: He's at a premier position as an edge rusher. To me, 261 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 13: he is the best football player in this year's draft. 262 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 13: And the Tennessee Titans will the or won't they something I'm. 263 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 3: Sure we're going to get into, no doubt, certainly when 264 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 3: the quarterbacks are out there on the field, but that's Saturday. 265 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 3: We've got the defense first up, the front seven on 266 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 3: Thursday at three Eastern time, then the defensive backs Friday 267 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 3: at three Eastern time. The defense will rest and then 268 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 3: the offense will get out there for the rest of 269 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 3: the NFL Scouting Combine twenty twenty five exclusively on NFL 270 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 3: Network and NFL Plus. 271 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 14: Be there. 272 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 2: We will be. 273 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 15: It'll be fun. 274 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:54,960 Speaker 8: Welcome back to the insiders here at the scouting combine. 275 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:58,720 Speaker 8: Lions gentle manager Brad Holmes joining us here. Appreciate the time, 276 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 8: Appreciate you being with us. You look at your team, 277 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 8: you look at the changes in the offseason. You've got 278 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 8: a lot of stability on the roster. That's what the 279 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,720 Speaker 8: general manager does you got changes at the coordinator position, sure, 280 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:10,959 Speaker 8: but guys that you're familiar with, Yo, how do you 281 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 8: make sure that they keep the continuity of what you've 282 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,560 Speaker 8: had on both sides of the ball that's been so successful. 283 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 15: Yeah. I really thought that Dan did an excellent job 284 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 15: and replenishing. You know, two great coordinators that left that 285 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 15: were great coaches that I know are going to be successful. 286 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 15: But to get a Kelvin Shephard that has been with 287 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 15: us since day one and basically has been let's call 288 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 15: it groomed from day one to be that next guy, 289 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,079 Speaker 15: and you know he's ready for sure. He's been right 290 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,680 Speaker 15: under AG's wing this whole time. Ag and Dan as well, 291 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 15: so just to be in a position to do that. 292 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,959 Speaker 15: And then John Morton, you know that when he was 293 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 15: with us, that was the time where we basically built 294 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,719 Speaker 15: that offensive system. So he already has a continuity. He 295 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,079 Speaker 15: already knows that it all starts with Jared and the 296 00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 15: quarterback and they have a relationship previously already. So I 297 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 15: don't I don't. I don't see us missing a beat. 298 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 2: There and both sides of the ball. 299 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 8: I talked about the roster stability they've got that talent 300 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 8: there on both sides. You've built this team in the 301 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 8: image that you wanted this team to be in. Uh, 302 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 8: you've got a lot of guys now that you're going 303 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 8: to have to start to turn around and reward for 304 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 8: their Look at you shaking your head right now. I mean, 305 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 8: these are good problems. 306 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 15: It's good problems to have. But it does you look 307 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 15: you turn around, you look back, and it's like, man, 308 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 15: there's a bill to pay now. Like it's like because 309 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 15: you know, in the moment, it's like, oh, we. 310 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 16: Got Penny Sue, and then you got two ones, and 311 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 16: then you got two ones again, and you had two 312 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 16: two's that basically had greatest two ones and then and 313 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 16: it's like, wait, hold on that, that's that's seven first 314 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 16: round picks that well seven we all like around, Yeah, 315 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 16: seven graded first round picks that we all like. 316 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 15: And it's like a lot to keep those guys around. 317 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 15: But then you have those carby Joseph in the third round. 318 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 15: You have the momra Saint Brown in the flour and 319 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 15: it starts to add up. It does, and so you 320 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 15: know it just changed. Is it changes some of the 321 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 15: decisions that you know that you would like to do 322 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 15: in free agency, and you know we've already started that 323 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 15: work in that preparation to make those necessary adjustments. 324 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 8: But yeah, we gotta do what we gotta do and 325 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 8: build your depth.

You know, you know 330 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 15: that attrition's coming, you know that the injuries are coming, 331 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 15: and that's why you you know, you know, you really 332 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 15: just kind of hammer out deaf death death, But you know, 333 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:40,560 Speaker 15: you just hate it for the players, you know, like Aiden. 334 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 15: I mean, I don't think anybody would argue that before 335 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 15: he got hurt, you know, I mean he was he 336 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 15: was on a defensive player of the Year potentially track 337 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 15: kind of season. But but look, I'm not worried about 338 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 15: Aiden in terms of man. He's attacking his rehab. He's 339 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 15: I mean, he's ahead of schedule as well. We all know. 340 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 15: And you know, he had serious injury at University of 341 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 15: Michigan as well that that knocked him out for a while, 342 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 15: and he came back an even better player, and you know, 343 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 15: we were actually talking about that, you know, in the 344 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 15: training room after his injury, and so you know, we're 345 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 15: on the same page, and I have no doubt that 346 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:16,560 Speaker 15: he's gonna continue his ascent. 347 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 8: We're already seeing the videos of him. We're seeing the 348 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,560 Speaker 8: progress you know, what he's going to put into his reab. 349 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 8: You know, he may come back even tougher and even 350 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 8: stronger than he was before. So we're looking forward to 351 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 8: seeing him back on the field. But this is the 352 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 8: time of year where you get a chance to get 353 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 8: in front of these guys, yep, whether it's here, whether 354 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:34,960 Speaker 8: it's during visits, whether it's. 355 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 2: During workouts with them. 356 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 8: When you're looking for a Lions type of guy, what 357 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 8: are you looking for? 358 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 4: Can you see it here? Is it mostly on the tape? 359 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 8: I mean, can you look into a guy's eyes and 360 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 8: see it? Because you have done a good job of 361 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 8: getting the guys that fit your culture in your BVID. 362 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 15: Yeah, Well, first, I'll give a lot of credit to 363 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 15: our area scouts that have done a lot of research 364 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 15: already before we got to this point. So we already 365 00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 15: kind of have an idea from an intangible background standpoint 366 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 15: of the guys that we think that we would like 367 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 15: to acquire, but yeah, to get them in this setting, 368 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,440 Speaker 15: kind of get a feel of the person, their intelligence, 369 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 15: all that stuff, to see if it matches up or 370 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,199 Speaker 15: if it doesn't match up. And so it's just it's 371 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 15: just you got to keep stacking. They're like bricks and 372 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,000 Speaker 15: you got to keep stacking. And it's a little bit 373 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,680 Speaker 15: like a puzzle too, and sometimes the pieces doesn't match 374 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:23,440 Speaker 15: at some point and you either got to do more 375 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 15: work or you got to go to the next player. 376 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 15: But so give a lot of credit to our scouts 377 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,119 Speaker 15: already for the work that they've done to get us 378 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 15: hit this point to identify some guys and then which 379 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 15: kind of see, we got to keep stacking the bricks. 380 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:35,760 Speaker 8: I gotta imagine your head coach is a big part 381 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 8: of that because he can sniff that out as well. 382 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 8: How much feedback does he give you throughout the process 383 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:41,760 Speaker 8: that is invaluable to you. 384 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 15: Me and Dan are in lockstep with this roster on 385 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 15: and you know, whether it's the free agency or draft. 386 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,159 Speaker 15: I mean, just before Egan came out here, we're just 387 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,200 Speaker 15: kind of going through guys that he looked at them independently. 388 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 15: I looked at him independently and we're just matching them 389 00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:59,639 Speaker 15: up to see who we liked. But it's it's the 390 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:01,680 Speaker 15: same thing with the draft. And one thing that I 391 00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:07,159 Speaker 15: give like really special coaches that are like really good evaluators. 392 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 17: You know. 393 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:11,360 Speaker 15: I always thought that that's a really like key critical 394 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 15: trait to have for a head coach. And Dan is 395 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:17,400 Speaker 15: one of those guys that has has a true keen 396 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:21,200 Speaker 15: eye for evaluation. But us being in alignment in terms 397 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,919 Speaker 15: of our vision and what fits for a Lion has 398 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:24,800 Speaker 15: helped tremendously. 399 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:26,399 Speaker 8: Well, this is the time to get it done, So 400 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 8: I'm not going to cut anymore into it. We appreciate 401 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,720 Speaker 8: Brad Holmes stopping by it here, Tom and those draft 402 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 8: room reactions that you see when it all comes to fruition. 403 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,440 Speaker 8: Just remember where it started. It started actual actually started 404 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 8: well before here, but it continues here at this scout 405 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 8: in combined Brad. 406 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 9: It takes a lot, that's right. 407 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 8: We anymore gifts, more draft room gifts or gifts if 408 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:50,200 Speaker 8: you want to call them that from Brad Holmes this 409 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 8: year coming up Anthony Richardson the quarterback of the future 410 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 8: in India, maybe, but it's not. 411 00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,160 Speaker 1: A clear path Omar Ruiz. 412 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:00,959 Speaker 9: Gonna join us. 413 00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:05,640 Speaker 8: Coming up shortly here to discuss Richardson's future with the Calls. 414 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:06,200 Speaker 9: That's next thing. 415 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:06,680 Speaker 4: It'siders. 416 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,880 Speaker 10: You know, Stefan Diggs had a really good first half 417 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,119 Speaker 10: of the season before he suffered an acl tair. He 418 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 10: is scheduled to become a free agent in a few weeks, 419 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 10: but Nick Cassario, the general manager of the Texan, said 420 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:26,639 Speaker 10: the team is open to bringing him back. Tom Pellisero 421 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:30,119 Speaker 10: talked to Casario about that and much more here at 422 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:30,640 Speaker 10: the combine. 423 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 1: Well, Nick, you've been to twenty out of these combines 424 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,080 Speaker 1: so far, you got more data points than ever. 425 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:38,240 Speaker 2: There's more information. 426 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 1: How has that evolution changed, if at all, the way 427 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 1: that you utilize this event. 428 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,040 Speaker 18: Yeah, there's more that's available, but you still have to 429 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:49,200 Speaker 18: be discerning about how much information you actually utilize in 430 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,880 Speaker 18: and really try to prioritize what's actually important. So don't 431 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,680 Speaker 18: too much, don't put too much stock in one particular thing. 432 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,680 Speaker 18: If there's something that's an outlier stands out, let's go 433 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:00,360 Speaker 18: back and take a look at it. Also, they're trying 434 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,600 Speaker 18: to create a profile of the player so that com 435 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 18: draft day you're making a sound decision based on accurate 436 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:07,440 Speaker 18: information and accurate data. 437 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 9: So the technologies continue to evolve. 438 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 18: You got a lot of different touch points with the players, 439 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 18: but you also want to be smart about how you 440 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 18: aggregate all the information. 441 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 1: Some big changes in this offseason for the Texans, namely 442 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 1: your offensive coordinator, but Nick Caley coming in. What do 443 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,160 Speaker 1: you envision that doing for the team and specifically. 444 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 15: For your quarterback TV straight out? 445 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:25,720 Speaker 18: Yeah, I mean the big thing is just we're going 446 00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 18: to put the foundation in place philosophically Howard Nick wants 447 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,399 Speaker 18: to deploy, you know, the offense and how we're going 448 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 18: to set it up. I think Nick has a lot 449 00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:35,879 Speaker 18: of experience in the multitude of systems, so I mean 450 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,520 Speaker 18: offensive football usually a hybrid of a lot of different things. 451 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 9: So it's what is the defense doing. What do we 452 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 9: got to do that week? 453 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 18: Do we have enough in our toolbox, enough in our 454 00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 18: arsenal to kind of counteract what the defense is doing. 455 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 9: So Nick's earned this opportunity. 456 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 18: He started, you know, when he entered the NFL, he 457 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,680 Speaker 18: was actually coaching on defense in college and any kind 458 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 18: of transitioned Coach Balichik put him on the offensive side 459 00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,400 Speaker 18: of the ball. So sometimes when you have a different perspective, 460 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 18: it kind of helps you on that other side of 461 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 18: the ball, if you will so, but his experience. 462 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,119 Speaker 9: With coach McVeigh will probably go a long way, and. 463 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 18: Then has a lot of experience in kind of the 464 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:10,680 Speaker 18: new England system or structure that we utilize for a 465 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 18: number of years. 466 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:12,640 Speaker 9: So we'll kind of see how it all comes together. 467 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 1: You usually make our job fun over these next several months. 468 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,959 Speaker 1: You're good for like two or three trades. Last year, 469 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,959 Speaker 1: the big swing was was Stefan Diggs coming in number one? 470 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:22,639 Speaker 1: How is Diggs doing? Is an option to bring back 471 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:24,720 Speaker 1: a number two? Do I need to wait for Casario 472 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:25,880 Speaker 1: bombs again this offseason? 473 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 18: Yeah? I'm not on Twitter, so whatever bombs go off, 474 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,960 Speaker 18: I'm probably gonna miss him. But no, I mean STEP's rehabbing. 475 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:33,399 Speaker 18: He was a good asset to our team, helped us 476 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 18: win some games. So we'll go through the process. Here 477 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:37,639 Speaker 18: is the free agents.

So it's about consistency, 493 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,480 Speaker 18: it's about execution. When you look at our season last year, 494 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,119 Speaker 18: other than the Minnesota the Baltimore game, we had an 495 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 18: opportunity to really win each game. 496 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:16,320 Speaker 9: Some of them we did, some of them we lost. 497 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 18: So we just want to make sure we're putting ourselves 498 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:20,159 Speaker 18: in a position on a week to week basis to 499 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:21,640 Speaker 18: have a chance to win in the fourth quarter. 500 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,200 Speaker 9: So if you continue to move in that direction, then 501 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 9: hopefully we'll be in a pretty good spot. 502 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:27,639 Speaker 2: Last thing for you, you're a scout by trade. 503 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 1: I also know you're a loyal viewer of the Insiders, 504 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,199 Speaker 1: So I'm just curious to myself.

Great to 523 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,400 Speaker 10: see you guys, cam Wolf, Omar Ruiz, thanks for joining 524 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 10: us here. Omar, I'm going to start with you because 525 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,919 Speaker 10: you spent some time with forty nine Ers general manager 526 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,640 Speaker 10: John Lynch today. There's an awful lot going on out 527 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 10: there in San Francisco. 528 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:25,440 Speaker 9: Bring us up to date. 529 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,720 Speaker 19: Yeah, well, obviously, he said that they want to have 530 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,320 Speaker 19: Brock Purdy there as quarterback of the forty nine ers 531 00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 19: for not only the foreseeable future, but even beyond the 532 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 19: time that him and Kyle Shanahan are with the organization. 533 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:41,120 Speaker 19: Obviously locking up rock Purdy is a priority for them. 534 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 19: He said they have started contract negotiations, doesn't necessarily have 535 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 19: a timetable. But how much do they believe in brock Purdy, 536 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,680 Speaker 19: I asked John Lynch. Obviously, Purdy has only had two 537 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 19: full years as a starter as quarterback. And when I 538 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 19: asked him where he would like to see brock Purdy improve, 539 00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,880 Speaker 19: where can he grow at this point in his career, 540 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,000 Speaker 19: and he said Brock would be the first to acknowledge 541 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 19: that he wants to improve in every area, but he 542 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:07,240 Speaker 19: said he is like Michael Jordan in this regard and 543 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:11,480 Speaker 19: that he will work on maniacally every different aspect of 544 00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 19: his game at different points in his career, focused maybe 545 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,119 Speaker 19: on one aspect of his game in the off season, 546 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 19: maybe a different part in the next offseason. So obviously 547 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,919 Speaker 19: high praise for brock Pretty there. But Lynch also acknowledged 548 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:26,119 Speaker 19: the ramifications that a brock pretty pay they would have 549 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:29,880 Speaker 19: on the roster. And obviously we've seen Deebo Samuel request 550 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,960 Speaker 19: a trade and John Lynch said that they will look 551 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:35,159 Speaker 19: to honor that, and he said there is a possibility 552 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,360 Speaker 19: that Deebo Samuel could be back but he did say 553 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:40,919 Speaker 19: that they will look to honor that. What's the hardest 554 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,200 Speaker 19: part about that, he was asked, and he said, the 555 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,119 Speaker 19: love and the respect that they have for Deebo Samuel, 556 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:49,640 Speaker 19: the shared experiences, the history, They've had so many. 557 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 7: Great plays over the years. 558 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,720 Speaker 19: And he was also asked about Brandon Nayuk and maybe 559 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:58,520 Speaker 19: the rumors that he could be traded, and Lynch saying that, yeah, 560 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 19: they'll listen to all calls that come their way. And 561 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,159 Speaker 19: he also said in that same answer that they have 562 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,960 Speaker 19: to get younger. They're one of the oldest rosters in 563 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,400 Speaker 19: the NFL. They acknowledge that. So obviously, multiple different ways 564 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 19: the brock Pretty contract extension will affect their roster. 565 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 10: Obviously, all right, cam a quarterback situation of a different 566 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:20,560 Speaker 10: kind here in Indianapolis. Their general manager Chris Ballard made 567 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:22,600 Speaker 10: some headlines yesterday when he said there is going to 568 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,200 Speaker 10: be an open quarterback competition here. What do you know 569 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:25,560 Speaker 10: about that? 570 00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,680 Speaker 20: Yeah, Judy, the Colts have already started early conversations, I'm 571 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 20: told with veteran options and free agency to bring on 572 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 20: and compete with Anthony Richardson in that open competition. And 573 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 20: Chris Ballard said, but talking with Richardson and his team. 574 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 20: They are not surprised by it, nor are they bothered 575 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:43,959 Speaker 20: by it. They've been motivated this offseason going into year 576 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,560 Speaker 20: three to get after it. He's been working out since 577 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 20: January twentieth and Jacksonville with his quarterback coaches Will Hewlett, 578 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:54,520 Speaker 20: Tom Gormiley and Chris Has the mechanics coach and one 579 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 20: thing to watch. He's also going to work out with 580 00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,240 Speaker 20: Josh Allen. I'm told this offseason Josh Allen went through 581 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:01,960 Speaker 20: some mechanic changes earlier in his career that helped him 582 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,800 Speaker 20: evolve into the MVP that we just saw. But I 583 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:06,919 Speaker 20: want to dive into a little bit about the meetings 584 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,760 Speaker 20: that the Colts had with Richardson and his agent Derek Jackson. 585 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:12,680 Speaker 20: The big thing for them was health. You've got to 586 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,480 Speaker 20: stay healthy. For Richardson, he started just fifteen games in 587 00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,639 Speaker 20: his two seasons, winning record, but has to stay healthy, 588 00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 20: and so his team took accountability. Richardson took accountability, said 589 00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,360 Speaker 20: We've got to do everything to stay healthy. But also 590 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:26,000 Speaker 20: in that meeting, the Colts said, we've got to do 591 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:29,360 Speaker 20: better job supporting you, you know, from a coaching perspective, 592 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 20: from a roster perspective to have the guys around you 593 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,720 Speaker 20: to help you succeed. And so the goal here ideally 594 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:36,800 Speaker 20: is to have Richardson still be the starter of there, 595 00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,359 Speaker 20: but they will bring in somebody to compete with him 596 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:41,960 Speaker 20: get to that next level. One thing I am told 597 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:46,000 Speaker 20: Richardson is doing some VR training to get himself ready 598 00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:48,240 Speaker 20: for this season, and he's hoping to come back with 599 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:51,080 Speaker 20: a different fire in twenty twenty five for this Colts team. 600 00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:53,400 Speaker 10: Guys, thank you so much for joining me here. 601 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 1: I'm not so all alone here all the way up 602 00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:56,200 Speaker 1: on this. 603 00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:57,119 Speaker 7: We love being here. 604 00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:58,119 Speaker 1: Jim all right. 605 00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,960 Speaker 10: You know who could be a free eachent this year? 606 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,399 Speaker 10: Khalil Mack. That's a guy that I would think some 607 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:07,679 Speaker 10: teams would be quite interested in. Ian Rapperport caught up 608 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,920 Speaker 10: with Chargers general manager Joe Ortiez to hear how the 609 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,840 Speaker 10: Chargers feel about that possibility a. 610 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:15,760 Speaker 6: Big off season coming. I feel like they're all, yeah, 611 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:17,679 Speaker 6: the big off season. We got a lot of free agents, 612 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,119 Speaker 6: none bigger than Khalil Mack. Has been the face of 613 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,480 Speaker 6: your defense for quite a while.

Where do you see yourself now compared to what 650 00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:47,040 Speaker 7: you inherited last year? 651 00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:49,560 Speaker 21: You know, I certainly we were able to add some 652 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,840 Speaker 21: depths through free agency last year, and a lot of 653 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,440 Speaker 21: guys are up again this year, but we were able 654 00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:57,840 Speaker 21: to pick, you know, add some depth, and then the 655 00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,160 Speaker 21: drafts you know, really helped us fill things out. So 656 00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:02,760 Speaker 21: I think we're further ahead. We still have more, you know, 657 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:05,840 Speaker 21: signings that we have to make, but looking forward to 658 00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 21: continuing the process. You know, we're just building, building, building, 659 00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:10,840 Speaker 21: and it's a long term play, you know.

Gentlemenare John 666 00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:30,040 Speaker 6: Schneider said this week that they are scheduled to me 667 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:33,800 Speaker 6: with Gino Smith's agents to talk about a potential contract extension. 668 00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,480 Speaker 6: Want him on last year, didn't get it, likely to 669 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:40,240 Speaker 6: get it this year.

So we're 706 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:01,640 Speaker 2: in a good spot. 707 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:04,000 Speaker 8: You've got a new offensive coordinator in Clint Kobiak. What 708 00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 8: was it about him? Because it was a thorough process 709 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,160 Speaker 8: for you, what was it about him that stood out? 710 00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,120 Speaker 22: Yeah, I thought it was important for us to really, 711 00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 22: you know, have an understanding who was out there, who 712 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:14,840 Speaker 22: was available. Clint was one of the earlier guys we 713 00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,040 Speaker 22: talked to, and man, he just left a really big 714 00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:17,720 Speaker 22: impression on me. 715 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:18,880 Speaker 2: Just his knowledge of the game. 716 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:21,640 Speaker 22: Obviously, have a relationship with his dad, and so much 717 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:23,920 Speaker 22: respect for him and his family, but just going through 718 00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,840 Speaker 22: the process understanding where I felt like our team needed. 719 00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:29,680 Speaker 22: His expertise in the system, the staff that we could 720 00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:33,120 Speaker 22: possibly be bringing along with him, his relationship with the quarterback, 721 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:35,600 Speaker 22: his ability to get the play you know, playmakers the 722 00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:36,360 Speaker 22: ball consistently. 723 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:38,560 Speaker 2: I thought all that stuff was really important. And he's 724 00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:39,280 Speaker 2: a heck of a guy too. 725 00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:41,400 Speaker 22: We really think, really respect a lot of them, or 726 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:43,600 Speaker 22: respect the heck out of him, and it's been fun 727 00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:44,320 Speaker 22: working with him so far. 728 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:48,320 Speaker 8: He had defenses heads spinning early last year before they 729 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:50,560 Speaker 8: suffered their injuries, So I know you're looking for that 730 00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:52,239 Speaker 8: kind of explosiveness in your offense as well. 731 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:53,280 Speaker 2: I was also running the football. 732 00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:55,000 Speaker 8: When I was talking to Schneider about he said, we 733 00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:57,000 Speaker 8: got to get back to running the football as part 734 00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:57,760 Speaker 8: of our identity. 735 00:31:57,800 --> 00:31:58,760 Speaker 9: How important is that for you? 736 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:00,880 Speaker 22: Well, it's incredile, It'll be important, mean we want to 737 00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:02,680 Speaker 22: be a physical football team, and obviously, you know, if 738 00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:04,960 Speaker 22: you're able to run the ball, that's probably the private 739 00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:07,520 Speaker 22: driving force behind that. And you know we're gonna be 740 00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:09,520 Speaker 22: a wide zone team and have compliments off fit. So 741 00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:11,720 Speaker 22: that's that's who we're going to be, and we're gonna 742 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:13,040 Speaker 22: get really good at it. We're gonna get a ton 743 00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 22: of reps. The guys know that, and Clint sees it 744 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:16,840 Speaker 22: the same way. So it's going to be a fun 745 00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:17,280 Speaker 22: process and. 746 00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:19,280 Speaker 2: When it's humming, it's great for the quarterback. 747 00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:21,240 Speaker 8: How do you think that'll play into what Gino does 748 00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:23,640 Speaker 8: and your overall thoughts of Geno being your starting quarterback 749 00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:24,200 Speaker 8: for your first time. 750 00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:25,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm really excited about Gino. 751 00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:27,200 Speaker 22: I think all the things that Clint's able to do 752 00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:28,760 Speaker 22: with the progression reads and then a lot of the 753 00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:31,320 Speaker 22: action game and movements, keeping them, you know, different launch 754 00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:33,200 Speaker 22: points in the pocket, getting the ball out of his 755 00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:36,000 Speaker 22: hands on time and to our guys, and that's just 756 00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:37,280 Speaker 22: gonna be a lot of fun to work through it 757 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:38,920 Speaker 22: and see how we build it and see where where 758 00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:39,480 Speaker 22: see where it goes. 759 00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,400 Speaker 8: One of the other things John mentioned yesterday, we've got 760 00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:43,320 Speaker 8: to get our home field advantage back. And when I 761 00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:45,720 Speaker 8: think about the Seahawks, I think about the twelves, I 762 00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:48,200 Speaker 8: think about that environment, one of the best that you 763 00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:50,600 Speaker 8: can be in the league, unless you're the visiting team. 764 00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:53,120 Speaker 2: Of course, how do you do that? Well, it's a 765 00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:54,680 Speaker 2: good question. I think that's more than one thing. I 766 00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:56,400 Speaker 2: think a lot of it is of our process going. 767 00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:58,240 Speaker 22: Into the games, some things that we can do throughout 768 00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:01,800 Speaker 22: the week to get prepared, especially on defense, operationally, making 769 00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:02,920 Speaker 22: sure our communication as well. 770 00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:04,280 Speaker 2: And then a lot of it's how we start the game. 771 00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:06,520 Speaker 22: If we can start the game faster, now we can 772 00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:08,720 Speaker 22: keep the fans in the game longer, earlier in the 773 00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:09,960 Speaker 22: game having to make a bigger impact. 774 00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:15,000 Speaker 6: One of the players the Seahawks will have zero chance 775 00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:20,920 Speaker 6: at is abdual Carter, NFL Combine Draft analyst Abdul Carter, 776 00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,600 Speaker 6: who has gone into his bag and declared that prospect 777 00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:27,000 Speaker 6: Abdul Carter is the number one player in the draft. 778 00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:28,240 Speaker 1: That is what he said. 779 00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:30,040 Speaker 6: He has done all the homework, he has watched all 780 00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,520 Speaker 6: the film because he's literally the one who's on film. 781 00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:35,040 Speaker 6: So I guess we'll take his word for it. Actually 782 00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:38,920 Speaker 6: we won't. Let's talk to PFF lead NFL Draft Animals 783 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,640 Speaker 6: analyst Trevor Sikoma, Trevor, what's going on? 784 00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:42,560 Speaker 7: Thank you for joining us. 785 00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:43,880 Speaker 9: I appreciate Ian love being here. 786 00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:45,040 Speaker 7: All right, So let's. 787 00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:48,520 Speaker 6: Ruin the surprise. Okay, who are the Titans taking number 788 00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:48,960 Speaker 6: one overall? 789 00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:49,479 Speaker 12: Is it that guy? 790 00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:52,880 Speaker 23: Well, if you follow along with the clues, their VP 791 00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:54,800 Speaker 23: of Football Ops said, we won't pass it on a 792 00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:55,640 Speaker 23: generational talent. 793 00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:55,880 Speaker 2: Okay. 794 00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:58,960 Speaker 23: Then Mike Organzi said, there are generational talents here in 795 00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:02,320 Speaker 23: this draft. That makes me feel like if you're looking 796 00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:04,400 Speaker 23: at a treasure map and you're following along all the 797 00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:06,160 Speaker 23: way to the end, the treasurer is going to be 798 00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:08,720 Speaker 23: Abdua Carter. This guy was an absolute stud this past season. 799 00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,200 Speaker 23: He had an incredibly high pass rush win rate despite 800 00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:14,319 Speaker 23: it being his first season as a full time edge 801 00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:16,400 Speaker 23: rusher and his last game in college football. He was 802 00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:18,799 Speaker 23: dominating with one arm, and that's obviously the reason why 803 00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,080 Speaker 23: he's not working out. He's still healing from that, still 804 00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:23,439 Speaker 23: getting good to go there. But this guy's an absolute monster, 805 00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:26,200 Speaker 23: and it's hard to pass up on a pass rusher. 806 00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:27,920 Speaker 1: With this kind of potential. 807 00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:30,800 Speaker 23: As he said himself, at number one overall, So I 808 00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:32,840 Speaker 23: feel like the longer this goes on, the more I 809 00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:35,960 Speaker 23: lean towards Abdual Carter being that number one overall pick. 810 00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:38,759 Speaker 6: Well, if the Titans view him as a generational talent, 811 00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:41,560 Speaker 6: he's not the only generational talent. Talking to other teams 812 00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:43,960 Speaker 6: in the early part of the first round, Travis Hunter 813 00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:46,480 Speaker 6: has been to say the least a curiosity. 814 00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:49,120 Speaker 7: Is he a receiver? What kind of the Browns think him? 815 00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:49,799 Speaker 2: You think of him? 816 00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:52,120 Speaker 7: Is he a corner? Where maybe the Titans think of him? 817 00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:54,799 Speaker 7: What does the future hold for Travis Hunter? 818 00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:56,560 Speaker 23: So, if I was a general manager, I'd be drafting 819 00:34:56,640 --> 00:35:00,560 Speaker 23: him as a corner first and foremost because rarity and uniqueness. 820 00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:02,439 Speaker 23: That's what I keep going back to with Travis Hunter 821 00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:04,759 Speaker 23: when it comes to playing the cornerback position. All due 822 00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:06,560 Speaker 23: respect to what he is the wide receiver we're seeing 823 00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:08,960 Speaker 23: on the screen now, he was absolutely fantastic, But when 824 00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:10,320 Speaker 23: you look at what he could be as a corner, 825 00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:12,440 Speaker 23: He's got the length, he's got the movement, he's got 826 00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:14,600 Speaker 23: the foot quickness, the hip fluidity to be able to 827 00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:16,839 Speaker 23: play in press coverage. He's so great with his ball 828 00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:19,040 Speaker 23: skills when it comes to off coverage, and right there, 829 00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,040 Speaker 23: that's why I would keep as a corner. 830 00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:23,040 Speaker 1: He's got the best ball skills in this class. 831 00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:24,759 Speaker 23: I think he's got the best ball skills of any 832 00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:27,120 Speaker 23: corner I've watched, And he very well may have the 833 00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:29,640 Speaker 23: best ball skills of any corner that I watch. 834 00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:31,120 Speaker 7: That's how good this guy is. 835 00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:33,080 Speaker 23: And it's so hard for me to pass up on 836 00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:36,399 Speaker 23: a rare talent at that position with Travis Hunter. 837 00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:39,399 Speaker 6: The do Engld Patriots needs some talent around. They're very 838 00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:42,759 Speaker 6: talented quarterback. Drake May also pick early on in the 839 00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:43,320 Speaker 6: first round. 840 00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:46,200 Speaker 7: Number four. To be exact, what can the Patriots do 841 00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:47,440 Speaker 7: to help Drake Man? 842 00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:49,680 Speaker 23: So make Mike Vrabel right, I mean, the guy who's 843 00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:51,480 Speaker 23: going to build through the trenches. So we assumed, okay, 844 00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:53,239 Speaker 23: it's probably gonna be a trench pick at number four. 845 00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:54,759 Speaker 23: Well a little bit of a leak course, So not 846 00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:56,719 Speaker 23: so fast, my friend, because when he was up at 847 00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:59,640 Speaker 23: the podium here in Indianapolis, he starts talking about in 848 00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:02,440 Speaker 23: praise an X type of a wide receiver, a guy 849 00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:04,799 Speaker 23: on the boundary who could be Drake May's best friend 850 00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:06,720 Speaker 23: that he could go to and throw to in any situation. 851 00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:09,759 Speaker 23: Sure sounds a lot like Arizona's tetro and McMillan. If 852 00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:12,000 Speaker 23: you asked me who I have as wide receiver won 853 00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:14,520 Speaker 23: in this draft ely. I mean, look, it is so 854 00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:17,239 Speaker 23: hard to watch his game and not think of guys 855 00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:19,800 Speaker 23: like Mike Evans, not think of guys like Drake London, 856 00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:22,600 Speaker 23: AJ Green, because he brings you that type of a 857 00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:26,839 Speaker 23: mentality of the contested catchability, whether it's the sideline over 858 00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:27,280 Speaker 23: the middle. 859 00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:28,239 Speaker 2: It was unbelievable. 860 00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:30,120 Speaker 23: And yeah, the separation scor is a little bit lower 861 00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:32,799 Speaker 23: for him, but I think that he's a fantastic wide here. 862 00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:34,640 Speaker 23: Of course, they could go offensive line as well, a 863 00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:37,040 Speaker 23: guy like Will Campbell potentially for them at number four. Overall, 864 00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:39,640 Speaker 23: this was the offensive line that gave up the most sacks, 865 00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:42,080 Speaker 23: the most pressures of any team last season, so. 866 00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:44,080 Speaker 2: Of course that could be on the board for them 867 00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:44,440 Speaker 2: as well. 868 00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:46,960 Speaker 6: You wouldn't be surprised see the Patriots hit the offensive 869 00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,520 Speaker 6: lineman in free agency as well, of course for the draft. 870 00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:52,000 Speaker 7: Trevor, thank you very much for hanging out with us. 871 00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:54,200 Speaker 4: It's an honor to have this happen. 872 00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:56,279 Speaker 7: Right now, we're trying to get following around by a 873 00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:57,760 Speaker 7: very expensive camera. 874 00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:01,040 Speaker 24: A great boom mic catch the boom mic.
