0:00:10.960 --> 0:00:13.640
<v Speaker 1>We welcome you to the Official Titans podcast, better known

0:00:13.640 --> 0:00:15.880
<v Speaker 1>as the ot Beat. My neighbor is Mike Heath, Joined

<v Speaker 1>so good? How are you great? Thank you? Joined by

0:00:22.280 --> 0:00:27.040
<v Speaker 1>Titans Radios Draft Duo Coach Dave mcginnison, Rehet Brian. Welcome, gentlemen,

0:00:27.160 --> 0:00:31.440
<v Speaker 1>Thanks Mike, Coach Mac. More than any of the rest

0:00:31.480 --> 0:00:33.159
<v Speaker 1>of us, you were the one that had to survive.

0:00:33.240 --> 0:00:35.880
<v Speaker 1>The tornado went right over the top of me. I mean,

0:00:35.920 --> 0:00:38.479
<v Speaker 1>if people are asking me how how it is, I mean,

0:00:38.479 --> 0:00:41.360
<v Speaker 1>that's about the third one I've survived. Uh, you know,

0:00:41.400 --> 0:00:43.919
<v Speaker 1>at very day. This one was this one was the closest.

0:00:43.920 --> 0:00:46.280
<v Speaker 1>It was sounded like somebody was landing a seven forty

0:00:46.280 --> 0:00:48.360
<v Speaker 1>seven on top of my house. You know, I was.

0:00:48.360 --> 0:00:50.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm in East Nashville. It was destroyed. You know, I'm

0:00:50.520 --> 0:00:52.720
<v Speaker 1>right in that path. I'm about two blocks from Lachland

0:00:52.760 --> 0:00:55.600
<v Speaker 1>Table and it was just completely destroyed. I mean, I've

0:00:55.640 --> 0:00:57.760
<v Speaker 1>still got no I've got no power. Our neighborhood won't

0:00:57.760 --> 0:01:00.320
<v Speaker 1>have power for a long time. I mean there are rucks.

0:01:00.520 --> 0:01:02.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean there's trucks, police, there's it's going to be.

0:01:03.240 --> 0:01:07.080
<v Speaker 1>It was devastating. I mean it when you are around

0:01:07.120 --> 0:01:10.319
<v Speaker 1>that stuff and it hits you close, the power that

0:01:10.400 --> 0:01:13.080
<v Speaker 1>those things and how quick it comes. I had about

0:01:13.120 --> 0:01:15.839
<v Speaker 1>twenty seconds to find an inside wall, you know, before

0:01:15.840 --> 0:01:19.319
<v Speaker 1>it before it hit. And then, uh, it was devastating.

0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:21.080
<v Speaker 1>Now I've got there's a church right across the street

0:01:21.080 --> 0:01:23.760
<v Speaker 1>from me that's completely blown away. And you know, my

0:01:23.840 --> 0:01:26.760
<v Speaker 1>structure is still standing. I got things on my truck door.

0:01:26.920 --> 0:01:29.319
<v Speaker 1>That's it. I mean, I can. I can live without

0:01:29.360 --> 0:01:31.720
<v Speaker 1>power for a while. You don't really realize how much

0:01:31.760 --> 0:01:35.560
<v Speaker 1>you like electricity. I didn't say appreciate, I say like electricity,

0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:38.840
<v Speaker 1>So you don't have it. Obviously, have a lot of

0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:41.560
<v Speaker 1>people to think of and to keep in mind. A

0:01:41.600 --> 0:01:45.760
<v Speaker 1>loss of life, um, loss of structure, loss of you know,

0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:49.400
<v Speaker 1>convenience in terms. I mean, it hits on so many

0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:53.200
<v Speaker 1>different levels, and there's some that are considerably more serious

0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:59.320
<v Speaker 1>than others. Being inconvenienced is one thing, but uh, losing

0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:02.120
<v Speaker 1>people you love of and I mean, it's just awful.

0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:05.640
<v Speaker 1>Not only do we have to keep in mind Davidson County,

0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:08.400
<v Speaker 1>in Wilson County, but our friends in Putnam County and

0:02:09.639 --> 0:02:13.040
<v Speaker 1>vastating the great people of the area of Cookeville, Tennessee

0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:16.160
<v Speaker 1>and our friend Larry Stone who owns Stonecom Radio, their

0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:22.040
<v Speaker 1>Titans Radio's godfather himself. And as you're as you're out

0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:25.919
<v Speaker 1>doing things, as you're giving money, as you're donating your time,

0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:31.360
<v Speaker 1>as you're donating your resources, don't forget people outside of

0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:34.680
<v Speaker 1>the immediate Nashville area. You want to help everybody in Nashville,

0:02:34.720 --> 0:02:38.519
<v Speaker 1>But my goodness, I mean, the Cookville thing is horrendous.

0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:42.920
<v Speaker 1>It's the deadliest tornado in you in Tennessee history, and

0:02:42.960 --> 0:02:45.720
<v Speaker 1>they've been keeping records of that for over sixty years now.

0:02:46.400 --> 0:02:50.120
<v Speaker 1>It's an e F three maybe EF four there. The

0:02:50.760 --> 0:02:54.160
<v Speaker 1>Weather Service is doing other surveys of this thing, and

0:02:54.200 --> 0:02:58.720
<v Speaker 1>the damage path is devastating, I mean, absolutely unbelievable. Well,

0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:01.320
<v Speaker 1>the reason we're mentioning it on OTPs, we know there

0:03:01.320 --> 0:03:04.000
<v Speaker 1>are a lot of people who subscribe to the Official

0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:07.520
<v Speaker 1>Titans podcast who are outside the area who want to

0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:11.839
<v Speaker 1>help people. There are people outside the country who want

0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:15.600
<v Speaker 1>to help people. So as you see different ways to help,

0:03:15.639 --> 0:03:18.280
<v Speaker 1>and they will continue to come out. Again, keep the

0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:22.240
<v Speaker 1>people in Nashville in mind, but keep those outside of

0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:25.680
<v Speaker 1>Nashville in mind too when you when you have a

0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:30.040
<v Speaker 1>desire to help, because so much of the national publicity

0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:32.760
<v Speaker 1>is going to be about Nashville. It's a Middle Tennessee thing,

0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:35.440
<v Speaker 1>not Anae. And it's a it's certainly a big thing

0:03:35.480 --> 0:03:38.200
<v Speaker 1>in Cookeville too, and we want to remind you of that. Absolutely.

0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:42.440
<v Speaker 1>We are here to recap the combine and talk about

0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:45.000
<v Speaker 1>what we saw. Dave McGinnis and Rhet Brian did the

0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:47.720
<v Speaker 1>whole thing. Amy Wells and I just basically took a pass.

0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:50.280
<v Speaker 1>We showed up. I mean, we were there and we

0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:54.160

0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:56.680

0:03:56.760 --> 0:03:59.440
<v Speaker 1>we didn't stick around to the fourth quarter. Can I

0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:01.560

0:04:23.400 --> 0:04:25.159

0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:35.479
<v Speaker 1>you see everybody amy everybody. Who was the person you

0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:37.560
<v Speaker 1>were most excited to see? Well, the person I was

0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:40.560
<v Speaker 1>most excited I'm gonna say talk to because I looked

0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:43.719
<v Speaker 1>at him too, was Daniel Jeremiah. Yeah. He is always

0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:45.960
<v Speaker 1>such a fun guy to talk to you because he's

0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:50.039
<v Speaker 1>so knowledgeable and he explains things in a way that

0:04:50.560 --> 0:04:52.799
<v Speaker 1>you don't feel like you're completely out of the loop.

0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:55.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he talks about these guys like their friends

0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:58.240
<v Speaker 1>that he has been following for years, and he's so knowledgeable,

0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:00.560
<v Speaker 1>and he's so gracious to talk with us every year,

0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:04.320
<v Speaker 1>and it was really really good to get his insight. Right.

0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:07.240
<v Speaker 1>This was only your second combine, correct, So you get

0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:09.920
<v Speaker 1>to see everybody there. Who were you excited to run into? Now?

0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:14.240
<v Speaker 1>Were we talking players or because the person I wanted

0:05:14.279 --> 0:05:16.240
<v Speaker 1>to see who did not work out, but we'll do

0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:18.960
<v Speaker 1>so at his LSU pro day on April third is

0:05:19.080 --> 0:05:23.920
<v Speaker 1>Claivan Chase Hunt, the pass rusher. Uh. We just wanted

0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:27.039
<v Speaker 1>to see this dude. I wanted to see him up close. Uh,

0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:29.360
<v Speaker 1>he has a neck as long as a giraffe. He's

0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:31.720
<v Speaker 1>like Merton Hanks at the forty nine Wow. But he's

0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:35.039
<v Speaker 1>a He's a big, sculpted, tall dude. That is going

0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:38.320
<v Speaker 1>to be one of the conversations the closer we get

0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:40.360
<v Speaker 1>to the draft, and as we are here right now,

0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:43.800
<v Speaker 1>it's fifty days out. But he did not work He

0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:45.320
<v Speaker 1>did not work out. He's gonna do it at his

0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:47.840
<v Speaker 1>pro day. But I wanted to go to his podium

0:05:47.880 --> 0:05:50.600
<v Speaker 1>feed because just to see what kind of dude he is.

0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:54.040
<v Speaker 1>Loved his confidence. He said, do you want to hire

0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:57.919
<v Speaker 1>a guy that speaks one language or as multi lingual?

0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:01.599
<v Speaker 1>I speak three languages. I can rush the passer, I

0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:04.280
<v Speaker 1>could drop back in coverage and cover most anybody, and

0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:06.680
<v Speaker 1>I can defend the run. Those are the three languages.

0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:09.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm the best pass rusher in this draft. Those

0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:11.839
<v Speaker 1>are the three languages. Yep, I'm sold. I mean I

0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:14.640
<v Speaker 1>thought you were going to say, like German, whatever I mean,

0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:17.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm I would be happy. He didn't study abroad in Lichtensteiner.

0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:20.560
<v Speaker 1>And all I care about is can can you hit

0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:23.599
<v Speaker 1>the quarterback? And he says, I can pass rush, I

0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:26.240
<v Speaker 1>can drop in coverage, I can defend the ruin I'm like,

0:06:26.600 --> 0:06:29.640
<v Speaker 1>that's the three tools that I want. Language, and I

0:06:29.720 --> 0:06:32.839
<v Speaker 1>just I'm fascinated by this guy because I think when

0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:35.800
<v Speaker 1>you put him in a pass rusher situation and line

0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:38.200
<v Speaker 1>him up in one position and he can play multiple

0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:41.039
<v Speaker 1>he's going to excel and do it well. I am

0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:46.080
<v Speaker 1>fluid in those languages. Coachmack, you know everybody, So how

0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:48.440
<v Speaker 1>in the world could you say who you were excited

0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:51.080
<v Speaker 1>to see? Well, I know everybody, and I saw everybody

0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:53.120
<v Speaker 1>because I you know, I sat in the in Lucas

0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:56.520
<v Speaker 1>Oil from four o'clock until eleven o'clock Thursday, Friday and

0:06:56.560 --> 0:06:59.640
<v Speaker 1>Saturday night and then from two to to six on Sunday,

0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:02.120
<v Speaker 1>so had a chance to see everybody and in the hallways.

0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:04.480
<v Speaker 1>And we've already said on ro OTP I was very

0:07:04.480 --> 0:07:07.160
<v Speaker 1>excited to meet all of the security dogs, because I did.

0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:09.920
<v Speaker 1>I met every one of them up there. And then

0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:13.320
<v Speaker 1>I've had several people get ahold of do they would

0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:17.360
<v Speaker 1>not let Peter King at the security dog. Here's he

0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:20.000
<v Speaker 1>wrote about it in his column from the condo. And

0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:22.440
<v Speaker 1>I've I've heard about that because people have heard our thing.

0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:24.600
<v Speaker 1>Let me tell you what the last day when I

0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:27.280
<v Speaker 1>was I was walking through the interview place that they

0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:30.480
<v Speaker 1>were tearing it down, and one of the security guards

0:07:30.480 --> 0:07:32.120
<v Speaker 1>was standing at the at the end of it. You know,

0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:34.280
<v Speaker 1>those were big rooms. It was at the very end,

0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:36.720
<v Speaker 1>and he was standing there with my friend Bingo, and

0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:38.680
<v Speaker 1>I just whistled it. I whistled at being going. He

0:07:38.920 --> 0:07:41.680
<v Speaker 1>hooked being going. Beg King run sprinting across the whole

0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:44.880
<v Speaker 1>floors to see me. So and Bingo, beautiful Black Lab

0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:47.680
<v Speaker 1>had her own credential hanging around her neck. Yeah, so

0:07:47.880 --> 0:07:50.040
<v Speaker 1>tell Peter King he needs to be coach Mack before

0:07:50.040 --> 0:07:51.680
<v Speaker 1>he gets in with the guard dogs. This is why

0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:55.640
<v Speaker 1>coach Mack. I'm calling him the mo, the mayor of everywhere,

0:07:55.800 --> 0:07:58.200
<v Speaker 1>the mayor of everywhere. Player wise, the guy that I

0:07:58.240 --> 0:08:00.600
<v Speaker 1>really really wanted to wanted to see. If we're talking

0:08:00.600 --> 0:08:03.600
<v Speaker 1>about player wise, I was really really interested to see

0:08:03.600 --> 0:08:06.760
<v Speaker 1>Tristan Worth's because this guy, to me is probably one

0:08:06.800 --> 0:08:10.200
<v Speaker 1>of the is oh tackle IOWA. Yeah, but he'll be

0:08:10.240 --> 0:08:12.880
<v Speaker 1>more than that. Look he's he reminds me. I drafted

0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:15.680
<v Speaker 1>Leonard Davis number one out of Texas when big was

0:08:15.720 --> 0:08:17.800
<v Speaker 1>coming out out of Texas, and we played him at tackle.

0:08:17.840 --> 0:08:20.200
<v Speaker 1>But I said, once somebody moves him into guard, he

0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:24.000
<v Speaker 1>will be a perennial pro bowler, which he was. This guy,

0:08:24.120 --> 0:08:26.880
<v Speaker 1>this guy could play either or and if somebody has

0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:29.400
<v Speaker 1>the has the wherewithal and the ability on their offensive

0:08:29.440 --> 0:08:33.520
<v Speaker 1>line to play him at guard, he will be devastating, devastating. Now,

0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:36.920
<v Speaker 1>rhet which positions were better than you thought they were

0:08:36.920 --> 0:08:41.040
<v Speaker 1>going to be. I've been sold on anterior defensive linemen

0:08:41.640 --> 0:08:44.360
<v Speaker 1>as just I like big guys that just you know,

0:08:44.360 --> 0:08:46.760
<v Speaker 1>are up there in the line of scrimmage and in

0:08:46.840 --> 0:08:50.440
<v Speaker 1>the trenches. And I didn't think it was quite as

0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:52.920
<v Speaker 1>deep as I've initially thought. This is one that I

0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:56.360
<v Speaker 1>think is better, and I'll give you an example. First

0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:58.040
<v Speaker 1>of all, there's a couple of guys that really helped

0:08:58.040 --> 0:09:03.760
<v Speaker 1>themselves in the combine process. One of Ross Blacklock from TCU, big, big,

0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:06.320
<v Speaker 1>physical guy, Derek Brown is the leader of that group

0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:07.959
<v Speaker 1>at Auburn. He's gonna be the one that's gonna be

0:09:08.040 --> 0:09:11.120
<v Speaker 1>taken heat didn't have as great a combine. But there's

0:09:11.160 --> 0:09:15.280
<v Speaker 1>Marlon Davidson from Auburn. I'm fascinated by this story of

0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:20.480
<v Speaker 1>the Davis twins from Nebraska adopted when they were infants.

0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:23.680
<v Speaker 1>Great story. We'll share that sometime, but Carlos and Khalil

0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:26.600
<v Speaker 1>Davis ran two of the fastest forty times for big

0:09:26.640 --> 0:09:29.079
<v Speaker 1>men in the history of the combine of this thing.

0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:31.840
<v Speaker 1>But a guy who really upped his stock outside of

0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:36.640
<v Speaker 1>a Javon Kin law is Neville Gallimore from Oklahoma six

0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:42.800
<v Speaker 1>two three uh four and ran ran a really good

0:09:43.400 --> 0:09:46.360
<v Speaker 1>forty for that size four seven nine, had a good

0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:49.080
<v Speaker 1>three cone drill. But he's a guy, He's a Canadian dude.

0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:52.640
<v Speaker 1>He was a number one Canadian prospect in twenty fifteen

0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:57.160
<v Speaker 1>out of Ottawa, Ontario, and he is a guy that

0:09:57.360 --> 0:09:59.960
<v Speaker 1>is improving his stock and I think he's a first

0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:03.280
<v Speaker 1>night one Thursday round pick, Thursday night round, first round

0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:07.120
<v Speaker 1>pick in this deal. And interior defensive line, there's some

0:10:07.200 --> 0:10:09.000
<v Speaker 1>guys that can do some stuff here. You know. For

0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:11.240
<v Speaker 1>me it was the interior linebackers because nobody has talked

0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:13.280
<v Speaker 1>about these guys, you know, you know, coming through and

0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:16.160
<v Speaker 1>then just watching them work, you know, I think there's

0:10:16.200 --> 0:10:19.240
<v Speaker 1>there's more. And of course the Patrick Queen and Kenneth Murray,

0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:21.600
<v Speaker 1>those are the two top guys in this draft coming out.

0:10:21.840 --> 0:10:24.160
<v Speaker 1>But just looking at some of the numbers while I

0:10:24.240 --> 0:10:27.440
<v Speaker 1>was watching the linebackers work out, Joe Bocchi from Michigan State.

0:10:27.520 --> 0:10:29.840
<v Speaker 1>You know his six one, two hundred and thirty pound linebacker.

0:10:29.960 --> 0:10:32.640
<v Speaker 1>Twenty six reps on the bench, he ran four sixty seven.

0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:35.000
<v Speaker 1>That's a space linebacker. That's a guy that can play.

0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:38.120
<v Speaker 1>Zach Bond from Wisconsin. Where is Zach Bond going to

0:10:38.160 --> 0:10:41.480
<v Speaker 1>play in the National Football League six two two thirty eight.

0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:43.840
<v Speaker 1>He made his living at Wisconsin, playing a lot of

0:10:43.840 --> 0:10:46.760
<v Speaker 1>different places. Twenty four, but he ran four sixty five.

0:10:47.040 --> 0:10:49.679
<v Speaker 1>That is a space linebacker. That's that's what's going on

0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:52.079
<v Speaker 1>in this league, and that that's what you look about.

0:10:52.120 --> 0:10:55.360
<v Speaker 1>Sean Bradley from Temple six o five two thirty five,

0:10:55.600 --> 0:10:57.440
<v Speaker 1>not as strong a little bit, but he ran four

0:10:57.600 --> 0:10:59.880
<v Speaker 1>five one, and so we've seen what had happened when

0:10:59.880 --> 0:11:02.959
<v Speaker 1>you can develop those space linebackers that can run. And

0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:05.679
<v Speaker 1>to me, that group had a little Now, there were

0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:07.600
<v Speaker 1>some of the guys that I wanted to see work

0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:10.280
<v Speaker 1>out that didn't work out that I know are good

0:11:10.320 --> 0:11:14.839
<v Speaker 1>space players just watching them play. But that inside linebacker group,

0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:18.040
<v Speaker 1>to me, has kind of been looked over in this draft.

0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:20.880
<v Speaker 1>But there are some guys that can run. A guy

0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:24.160
<v Speaker 1>named Davion Taylor from Colorado six o four two twenty eight.

0:11:24.360 --> 0:11:26.200
<v Speaker 1>All right, sounds a lot like some of the guys

0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:28.360
<v Speaker 1>that rant four or five three. There are some guys

0:11:28.360 --> 0:11:30.640
<v Speaker 1>that have space ability that will play in the National

0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:33.319
<v Speaker 1>Football League because you're playing sixty percent of your staffs

0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:36.280
<v Speaker 1>in the National Football League in sub packages. Now, let's

0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:39.520
<v Speaker 1>flip this. Which positions were not as good or as

0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:43.160
<v Speaker 1>strong as you expected them to be. Interior offensive lineman, centers,

0:11:43.160 --> 0:11:46.480
<v Speaker 1>and guards. They aren't top flight and you had this

0:11:46.600 --> 0:11:49.720
<v Speaker 1>suspicion going into this whole thing. I don't think there'll

0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:54.040
<v Speaker 1>be a guard taken in the first round. Caesar Ruiz

0:11:54.200 --> 0:11:58.800
<v Speaker 1>of Michigan will probably be the top interior offensive linemen taken,

0:11:58.840 --> 0:12:02.800
<v Speaker 1>and that'll be probably near the middle of round two.

0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:05.440
<v Speaker 1>You know, I thought going in, and I agree with Rett.

0:12:05.520 --> 0:12:07.679
<v Speaker 1>I mean that to me is that is where as

0:12:07.679 --> 0:12:10.600
<v Speaker 1>far as you talk about impact players, that's where they aren't.

0:12:10.960 --> 0:12:13.200
<v Speaker 1>And the other the other spot is tight end. You know,

0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:15.920
<v Speaker 1>there's not a dominating tight end as there were last year.

0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:17.520
<v Speaker 1>You know, coming out of AVA two of them. There

0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:19.400
<v Speaker 1>are some decent ones, but there are some There are

0:12:19.400 --> 0:12:21.760
<v Speaker 1>tight ends that have different traits that you're going to

0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:24.040
<v Speaker 1>have to be able to live without if you want

0:12:24.040 --> 0:12:26.120
<v Speaker 1>to take a tight end in this draft to make

0:12:26.160 --> 0:12:28.320
<v Speaker 1>an immediate impact. Mac, what do you think is the

0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:31.280
<v Speaker 1>strength of this draft just overall wide receivers. I mean,

0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:34.520
<v Speaker 1>without a doubt, it's wide receivers. I mean, you've got

0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:37.640
<v Speaker 1>you've got guys that have all types of different ability.

0:12:37.679 --> 0:12:40.200
<v Speaker 1>And I was just talking about numbers, and I know

0:12:40.280 --> 0:12:42.520
<v Speaker 1>we'll talk about speeds here in a little while with

0:12:42.559 --> 0:12:45.200
<v Speaker 1>these wide receivers, but you you had you had dudes

0:12:45.240 --> 0:12:48.040
<v Speaker 1>that could run run, you know, and and and you

0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:49.920
<v Speaker 1>know that people were wondering how that was going to

0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:53.040
<v Speaker 1>affect the times as far as running running at night,

0:12:53.200 --> 0:12:54.800
<v Speaker 1>because this is the first time we've done that in

0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:57.280
<v Speaker 1>prime time in this combined sense. It's been there that

0:12:57.320 --> 0:13:00.359
<v Speaker 1>there were some fabulous times posted by these wide receivers.

0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:02.439
<v Speaker 1>And we'll talk about this too. With the change in

0:13:02.480 --> 0:13:04.880
<v Speaker 1>the wide receiver drills, you could see some guys and

0:13:05.120 --> 0:13:08.040
<v Speaker 1>because that's where offenses are going now. But the wide receiver,

0:13:08.080 --> 0:13:10.400
<v Speaker 1>to me, is the definite strength of this draft. I

0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:12.760
<v Speaker 1>would say cornerback and running back to go with that.

0:13:13.240 --> 0:13:15.600
<v Speaker 1>But I'll underline what Coach Max saying about the wide

0:13:15.600 --> 0:13:18.920
<v Speaker 1>receivers to give you an example of how many talented

0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:21.040
<v Speaker 1>guys there are. And a guy that improved his stock

0:13:21.040 --> 0:13:23.920
<v Speaker 1>in this his Chase Claypool of Notre Dame, who measured

0:13:23.960 --> 0:13:26.560
<v Speaker 1>it at six four two thirty eight. He ran a

0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:30.080
<v Speaker 1>four four two forty at that size, nineteen reps at

0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:33.040
<v Speaker 1>two twenty five, a ten to six broad jump, a

0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:37.079
<v Speaker 1>forty and a half inch vertical. That is what Coach

0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:38.920
<v Speaker 1>Max's talking about. We hadn't even talked about the top

0:13:38.960 --> 0:13:41.160
<v Speaker 1>flight ones yet, No, we haven't. And just to his point,

0:13:41.160 --> 0:13:43.959
<v Speaker 1>I mean Denzel Mims from Baylor, I mean, nobody's mentioning

0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:46.280
<v Speaker 1>him as a top flat guy six three, two hundred

0:13:46.280 --> 0:13:48.760
<v Speaker 1>and eight pounds, forty three eight you know, fourth or

0:13:48.800 --> 0:13:50.360
<v Speaker 1>eight to thirty eight and a half inch vertical and

0:13:50.400 --> 0:13:52.559
<v Speaker 1>went up for our listeners for vertical. When I when

0:13:52.600 --> 0:13:54.640
<v Speaker 1>we give you vertical and broad jump numbers, and you ask,

0:13:54.720 --> 0:13:58.280
<v Speaker 1>why is that important? That demonstrates explosiveness And for these

0:13:58.320 --> 0:14:01.319
<v Speaker 1>some positions it's extremely more important than others. But the

0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:04.000
<v Speaker 1>game of football is a game of short, quick burst.

0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:07.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's what it is. And to his point

0:14:07.040 --> 0:14:10.440
<v Speaker 1>with Claypool and Denzel Mims ten nine broad jump, I

0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:12.480
<v Speaker 1>mean at six three, two hundred eight pounds four three

0:14:12.520 --> 0:14:15.360
<v Speaker 1>eight guys, that's you know, we throw these numbers out

0:14:15.400 --> 0:14:17.640
<v Speaker 1>like they're nothing. You don't understand how fast four three

0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:19.960
<v Speaker 1>eight is for a human. I mean that is fast

0:14:19.960 --> 0:14:22.800
<v Speaker 1>fast at that size. I want to jump to edge rushers.

0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:29.320
<v Speaker 1>If that's okay. As a group, did they show up better, worse,

0:14:29.880 --> 0:14:32.320
<v Speaker 1>or the same as you thought they would at the combine?

0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:33.960
<v Speaker 1>I thought it was about the same. I thought it was.

0:14:34.640 --> 0:14:37.160
<v Speaker 1>But I was able to distinguish being at the workouts

0:14:37.160 --> 0:14:40.200
<v Speaker 1>and watching to kind of reinforce some opinions that I had,

0:14:40.440 --> 0:14:43.520
<v Speaker 1>because when you talk about edge rushers, you've got to differentiate.

0:14:43.560 --> 0:14:45.640
<v Speaker 1>Are you talking about four three edge rushers. Are you

0:14:45.680 --> 0:14:48.320
<v Speaker 1>talking about sub bass rushers or are you talking about

0:14:48.600 --> 0:14:51.120
<v Speaker 1>three four edge rushers that also have to be able

0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:54.120
<v Speaker 1>to play first and second down and convert from going

0:14:54.160 --> 0:14:56.440
<v Speaker 1>forward to going backwards. Those are the things that you

0:14:56.520 --> 0:14:58.240
<v Speaker 1>have to you know, so you need to you need

0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:00.200
<v Speaker 1>to delineate a little bit of what you're talking talking

0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:02.760
<v Speaker 1>about about edge rushers. And of course we all know

0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:04.640
<v Speaker 1>what Chase Young is. We didn't see him work, it

0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:06.680
<v Speaker 1>doesn't matter. We know what he is. If you turn

0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:09.400
<v Speaker 1>on ten seconds of tape, you can watch you understand

0:15:09.400 --> 0:15:12.480
<v Speaker 1>what it is Rhet's guy. Chase On is another one

0:15:12.520 --> 0:15:15.320
<v Speaker 1>of those guys. But I enjoyed watching your tour Gross

0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:17.800
<v Speaker 1>Matos work on He didn't run a forty, but watching

0:15:17.880 --> 0:15:20.440
<v Speaker 1>him work on the floor, he's got that athletic ability.

0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:22.760
<v Speaker 1>Terrell Lewis from Alabama? Can I go back to Gross

0:15:22.760 --> 0:15:25.000
<v Speaker 1>made us for a second? Go ahead? After what you saw?

0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:28.480
<v Speaker 1>Could he play three four? Yes? Okay, because going in

0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:31.000
<v Speaker 1>you felt like he might just be a four three

0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:33.960
<v Speaker 1>edge guy. But you've changed your mind a little bit, Well,

0:15:34.000 --> 0:15:36.080
<v Speaker 1>not changed my mind. It just because I didn't see

0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:38.200
<v Speaker 1>him do enough of that stuff on tape. I just

0:15:38.240 --> 0:15:41.080
<v Speaker 1>wanted to see what you could see. The innate athleticism.

0:15:41.120 --> 0:15:43.680
<v Speaker 1>I think he could what the combines for. That's exactly

0:15:43.680 --> 0:15:46.360
<v Speaker 1>what it's for. I mean, you know, and especially you

0:15:46.400 --> 0:15:47.920
<v Speaker 1>know when I was coaching. You get to go to

0:15:48.000 --> 0:15:49.640
<v Speaker 1>school and work him out. You get to work him

0:15:49.640 --> 0:15:52.560
<v Speaker 1>out positions specific to what you want to do. But

0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:55.720
<v Speaker 1>my thought is, yes, Terrell Lewis from Alabama. You know's

0:15:55.720 --> 0:15:57.400
<v Speaker 1>the guy that has fought some injuries there. You know,

0:15:57.440 --> 0:15:59.800
<v Speaker 1>watching him go through the drills, he was a power guy.

0:15:59.840 --> 0:16:02.000
<v Speaker 1>I still think he's a power guy who he didn't

0:16:02.280 --> 0:16:05.120
<v Speaker 1>I saw Curtis Weaver from Boise State. So your answer

0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:07.400
<v Speaker 1>was that they did about what I thought. There were

0:16:07.440 --> 0:16:10.479
<v Speaker 1>some guys that you know a lot, like ej Epinessa

0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:12.680
<v Speaker 1>from Iowa. Now this is a four to three guy.

0:16:13.040 --> 0:16:14.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he's definitely a four to three guy. He

0:16:14.720 --> 0:16:16.120
<v Speaker 1>is not a guy you're going to stand up in

0:16:16.160 --> 0:16:18.840
<v Speaker 1>a three to four outside. He's a power guy. He's

0:16:18.840 --> 0:16:21.280
<v Speaker 1>not a bendy edge guy, but he is a powerful

0:16:21.320 --> 0:16:23.280
<v Speaker 1>guy with it. We'll find a place in the first

0:16:23.360 --> 0:16:25.960
<v Speaker 1>round with four to three teams. And I thought it

0:16:26.000 --> 0:16:28.080
<v Speaker 1>was about the same as well, although there are some

0:16:28.160 --> 0:16:31.240
<v Speaker 1>guys that I wanted to see workout in this that

0:16:31.280 --> 0:16:33.360
<v Speaker 1>are in the next couple of tiers down from the

0:16:33.400 --> 0:16:36.760
<v Speaker 1>elite guys. Joshua Ucci from Michigan didn't work out. He

0:16:36.760 --> 0:16:39.600
<v Speaker 1>had a hamstring he suffered at the Senior Bowl. Bradley

0:16:39.680 --> 0:16:41.560
<v Speaker 1>and I from Utah as a guy people are talking about,

0:16:41.600 --> 0:16:45.160
<v Speaker 1>but not as fast or bendy in this thing. When

0:16:45.200 --> 0:16:48.080
<v Speaker 1>you start showing what he can do in some of

0:16:48.120 --> 0:16:50.800
<v Speaker 1>the new drills that were introduced this year at the Combine.

0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:54.080
<v Speaker 1>But I think Coach Max right on this. You know

0:16:54.240 --> 0:16:56.720
<v Speaker 1>you know who the guys are in this thing. And

0:16:57.160 --> 0:17:00.400
<v Speaker 1>I think the pass rusher class is probably as represented.

0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:02.720
<v Speaker 1>Let me just say this from this from this point though,

0:17:03.080 --> 0:17:06.040
<v Speaker 1>with eds rushers in the National Football League, so much

0:17:06.040 --> 0:17:08.080
<v Speaker 1>of that depends on what your scheme is. And it

0:17:08.119 --> 0:17:10.360
<v Speaker 1>also goes to the point that I made about your

0:17:10.560 --> 0:17:14.800
<v Speaker 1>staff's ability to develop somebody beyond what you saw them

0:17:14.840 --> 0:17:17.760
<v Speaker 1>doing collegiately. I want to stay on the defensive side

0:17:17.760 --> 0:17:19.720
<v Speaker 1>of the ball, and I want to talk about cornerbacks

0:17:19.720 --> 0:17:23.280
<v Speaker 1>a little bit. If you're looking for a cornerback with

0:17:23.560 --> 0:17:26.520
<v Speaker 1>elite speed for coverage, so not just fast, but as

0:17:26.560 --> 0:17:29.399
<v Speaker 1>coach Max says, fast fast, can you find him in

0:17:29.480 --> 0:17:34.680
<v Speaker 1>this draft? Rhett, you start, Absolutely you can, because two

0:17:34.760 --> 0:17:39.400
<v Speaker 1>of the top ten forty times in this combine we're cornerbacks.

0:17:39.920 --> 0:17:44.040
<v Speaker 1>One of them is Javelin Guidry from Utah and the

0:17:44.119 --> 0:17:46.960
<v Speaker 1>other is a guy who is a defensive back from

0:17:46.960 --> 0:17:52.520
<v Speaker 1>Louisiana Tech, Lugarius Sneaed Javelin Gidrey four two nine, Lagarius

0:17:52.560 --> 0:17:57.040
<v Speaker 1>sneed four three seven. So yeah, and then coach Max

0:17:57.119 --> 0:17:58.879
<v Speaker 1>got a slew of guys under four or five to

0:17:58.960 --> 0:18:03.679
<v Speaker 1>run under four or five five. Again, it's fast, it's fast, fast,

0:18:03.720 --> 0:18:06.359
<v Speaker 1>And he mentioned he mentioned those two guys, you know,

0:18:06.359 --> 0:18:10.600
<v Speaker 1>but but you start looking, uh, you go to Javarius

0:18:10.680 --> 0:18:13.639
<v Speaker 1>Davis from Auburn four three nine. C. J. Henderson, Florida

0:18:13.680 --> 0:18:16.760
<v Speaker 1>four three nine, Troy Pride, Notre Dame four four Oh

0:18:16.800 --> 0:18:20.160
<v Speaker 1>Tanner Muse Clemson four four one, Josiah Scott Michigan State

0:18:20.359 --> 0:18:22.480
<v Speaker 1>four four two. Are you counting these? Amy A. J.

0:18:22.720 --> 0:18:26.320
<v Speaker 1>Terrell Clempson really a lot? Four four two, Reggie Robinson

0:18:26.359 --> 0:18:30.160
<v Speaker 1>Tulsa four four four. Kendall, I mean, I've got just list.

0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:33.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it goes all down the way their speed

0:18:33.320 --> 0:18:35.800
<v Speaker 1>at corner in this draft. And the reason is we

0:18:36.160 --> 0:18:38.760
<v Speaker 1>said that this was a high class in wide receivers.

0:18:38.800 --> 0:18:42.600
<v Speaker 1>That's what's going on offensively in collegiate football. It's what's

0:18:42.600 --> 0:18:45.800
<v Speaker 1>going on offensively. We just saw a track team win

0:18:46.200 --> 0:18:48.760
<v Speaker 1>the you know, the Super Bowl Trophy this year, and

0:18:48.800 --> 0:18:50.560
<v Speaker 1>then these guys are guys that are have to come

0:18:50.560 --> 0:18:52.760
<v Speaker 1>in to cover these people. There are a lot of them.

0:18:52.920 --> 0:18:55.879
<v Speaker 1>So eighteen corners under four to five and some of

0:18:55.920 --> 0:18:58.960
<v Speaker 1>them world class track speed. Rhett was counting for me.

0:18:59.640 --> 0:19:03.800
<v Speaker 1>Thanks he rehet is helpful in that way to help.

0:19:03.880 --> 0:19:07.320
<v Speaker 1>But what we're saying is we're saying you can find

0:19:07.359 --> 0:19:11.439
<v Speaker 1>a corner of any style, any maker model, so to

0:19:11.520 --> 0:19:16.399
<v Speaker 1>speak throughout two hundred and fifty plus picks Well and

0:19:16.560 --> 0:19:20.160
<v Speaker 1>Mac brought up the wide receivers, and I think that

0:19:20.400 --> 0:19:23.040
<v Speaker 1>we've been talking since the very beginning about how deep

0:19:23.080 --> 0:19:26.240
<v Speaker 1>and how strong this wide receiver class is. But when

0:19:26.280 --> 0:19:29.000
<v Speaker 1>you guys got there, did it live up to the hype?

0:19:29.080 --> 0:19:31.639
<v Speaker 1>Did that group seeing them work out and perform the

0:19:31.680 --> 0:19:34.640
<v Speaker 1>drills that we have been anticipating them doing, did they

0:19:34.640 --> 0:19:36.960
<v Speaker 1>live up to the excitement that you ask there every

0:19:37.080 --> 0:19:40.399
<v Speaker 1>making model of wide receiver there absolutely, there's there's all

0:19:40.440 --> 0:19:42.680
<v Speaker 1>the way from Rugs that ran four to eight, all

0:19:42.800 --> 0:19:45.320
<v Speaker 1>all the way to Juwan Jennings who ran four seven two.

0:19:45.440 --> 0:19:49.200
<v Speaker 1>That's a pretty big spread of body type and speed type.

0:19:49.280 --> 0:19:52.200
<v Speaker 1>But there are a lot of them. And Rehet's got

0:19:52.200 --> 0:19:54.320
<v Speaker 1>the numbers of the fastest wide receivers, you know, because

0:19:54.320 --> 0:19:56.040
<v Speaker 1>I sat there and watched every one of them work out.

0:19:56.080 --> 0:19:59.520
<v Speaker 1>But speed speed steps out at you. Reet's got those numbers,

0:19:59.520 --> 0:20:01.520
<v Speaker 1>and I'll get the number of wide receivers that were

0:20:01.600 --> 0:20:04.320
<v Speaker 1>under four five there. So six of the top ten

0:20:04.440 --> 0:20:07.480
<v Speaker 1>fastest forty times at the combine were wide outs. Henry Ruggs,

0:20:07.480 --> 0:20:12.160
<v Speaker 1>Alabama four two seven that screams explosion. That's he. That's

0:20:12.160 --> 0:20:16.920
<v Speaker 1>an Oakland. That's an Oakland. That's a Lost Vegas Raiders pick. No,

0:20:17.119 --> 0:20:20.160
<v Speaker 1>it's an Oakland. It's an Al Davis Oakland Raiders pick

0:20:20.720 --> 0:20:24.880
<v Speaker 1>wide receiver Quez Watkins from Southern Mississippi four three five,

0:20:24.920 --> 0:20:28.959
<v Speaker 1>Denzel Mims, the aforementioned receiver from Baylor forty three eight,

0:20:29.119 --> 0:20:32.640
<v Speaker 1>Darnell Mooney from Tulane who is also a kick returner

0:20:32.680 --> 0:20:36.200
<v Speaker 1>four three eight, Devin Duverney of Texas forty three nine.

0:20:36.240 --> 0:20:38.680
<v Speaker 1>And then a guy from Liberty that people are talking

0:20:38.680 --> 0:20:42.719
<v Speaker 1>about that was in a combine and anti Liberty no

0:20:42.800 --> 0:20:46.680
<v Speaker 1>Lee movie lou Here. But it is Antonio. I'm sorry.

0:20:46.720 --> 0:20:48.399
<v Speaker 1>Antonio Gibson is who I was thinking about. I was

0:20:48.400 --> 0:20:51.520
<v Speaker 1>thinking Antonio Gandy Golden. Never mind Antonio Gibson from Memphis

0:20:51.520 --> 0:20:54.320
<v Speaker 1>four three nine as well. But there's a ton of

0:20:54.359 --> 0:20:57.640
<v Speaker 1>guys under four to five. In fact, there's thirteen more.

0:20:57.720 --> 0:21:00.040
<v Speaker 1>Coach Macas, Yeah, we've already talked about Chase Claypool. You

0:21:00.119 --> 0:21:03.080
<v Speaker 1>got Tyree Cleveland four four to six out of Florida.

0:21:03.160 --> 0:21:06.360
<v Speaker 1>Isaiah Coulter from Rhode Island. Rhode Island had three players.

0:21:06.440 --> 0:21:09.800
<v Speaker 1>He's a real priest he's a prospect. Look Rhode Island,

0:21:10.320 --> 0:21:15.160
<v Speaker 1>Rhode Island, the what were they the Rams? They had

0:21:15.200 --> 0:21:18.320
<v Speaker 1>three prospects at the combine. Think about that, Rhode Island,

0:21:18.359 --> 0:21:22.120
<v Speaker 1>three prospects. Stephen Gidrey Mississippi State four four seven, John

0:21:22.200 --> 0:21:25.160
<v Speaker 1>Hyghtower from Boys, Who's an interesting dude. Four for three.

0:21:25.280 --> 0:21:28.639
<v Speaker 1>Justin Jefferson from LSU. That may have helped himself as

0:21:28.680 --> 0:21:31.520
<v Speaker 1>much as anybody in this draft at four to four three.

0:21:31.520 --> 0:21:34.520
<v Speaker 1>We'll talk about him later. Jerry Judy from Alabama. Everybody

0:21:34.520 --> 0:21:36.399
<v Speaker 1>knows that name, Judy, Judy Judy. He ran four to

0:21:36.480 --> 0:21:39.000
<v Speaker 1>four to five. Desmond Patton, Washington State four four eight,

0:21:39.240 --> 0:21:42.679
<v Speaker 1>Donovan People's Jones Michigan four four eight, Jalen raagor frog

0:21:45.800 --> 0:21:49.280
<v Speaker 1>that four four seven, I got, Joe Reid, Freddie Swain,

0:21:49.400 --> 0:21:52.480
<v Speaker 1>Jeff Thomas got it. Nineteen of them under four five.

0:21:52.520 --> 0:21:55.280
<v Speaker 1>All right, So so here's what we got. We got

0:21:55.320 --> 0:21:58.200
<v Speaker 1>a lot of fast receivers. I want to talk about

0:21:58.280 --> 0:22:02.000
<v Speaker 1>Juan Jennings because he from Murphy's Borrow. He played at Tennessee.

0:22:02.440 --> 0:22:06.320
<v Speaker 1>He ran four seven two. Coach Mac, do you think

0:22:06.400 --> 0:22:10.199
<v Speaker 1>that teams were surprised that's what he ran? Or do

0:22:10.240 --> 0:22:13.200
<v Speaker 1>you think that's about what they expect. Nobody was surprised.

0:22:13.240 --> 0:22:15.640
<v Speaker 1>Now I'll tell you who wasn't surprised. First and foremost

0:22:15.720 --> 0:22:18.040
<v Speaker 1>is him, Okay, And he said that in his interview

0:22:18.040 --> 0:22:19.520
<v Speaker 1>when you if you listen to him, said no, I'm

0:22:19.520 --> 0:22:21.600
<v Speaker 1>not gonna run good. I don't that's not my game.

0:22:21.920 --> 0:22:26.000
<v Speaker 1>And nobody, nobody was surprised. I got a lot of

0:22:26.040 --> 0:22:28.480
<v Speaker 1>talk about him when I was there because I drafted

0:22:28.480 --> 0:22:31.960
<v Speaker 1>an Kwan Bowling and everybody, you know, for any receiver

0:22:32.080 --> 0:22:34.240
<v Speaker 1>that runs over four or five in the draft or

0:22:34.320 --> 0:22:36.960
<v Speaker 1>over four to six in the draft, the comparison always

0:22:36.960 --> 0:22:39.240
<v Speaker 1>comes back to, yeah, well an Kwan Bowling ran four

0:22:39.320 --> 0:22:41.879
<v Speaker 1>seven two and he did, and I drafted him and

0:22:41.920 --> 0:22:44.199
<v Speaker 1>so and we know when that worked out pretty good,

0:22:44.359 --> 0:22:46.080
<v Speaker 1>and so we know what kind of you know so,

0:22:46.520 --> 0:22:49.080
<v Speaker 1>but Jennings knew he wasn't going to run fast. That's

0:22:49.080 --> 0:22:51.919
<v Speaker 1>not his game. Nobody cared. That will not alter his

0:22:52.000 --> 0:22:54.679
<v Speaker 1>stock at all. So the fact that the national media

0:22:54.760 --> 0:22:58.240
<v Speaker 1>went nuts and basically through a funeral for his chances

0:22:59.200 --> 0:23:02.280
<v Speaker 1>is completely out the window because of A the tape

0:23:02.720 --> 0:23:05.520
<v Speaker 1>and B. There's going to be a team or two

0:23:05.640 --> 0:23:08.639
<v Speaker 1>that is just going to love and want him and

0:23:08.680 --> 0:23:10.639
<v Speaker 1>they're not worried about a stop. Why Mike Keith, you

0:23:10.720 --> 0:23:13.200
<v Speaker 1>said that, so, well, you're gonna have to You're gonna

0:23:13.200 --> 0:23:15.639
<v Speaker 1>have to want him, just like I wanted, you know,

0:23:15.640 --> 0:23:18.840
<v Speaker 1>an kuon Bolin, I didn't care. I wanted him. Somebody's

0:23:18.880 --> 0:23:21.240
<v Speaker 1>gonna have to want him. And when they do, he's drafted.

0:23:21.400 --> 0:23:23.359
<v Speaker 1>Once he gets in the door of a come of

0:23:23.400 --> 0:23:26.360
<v Speaker 1>a organization, then it's up to him. All right. So

0:23:26.440 --> 0:23:30.560
<v Speaker 1>let's move to offensive tackles. So we've we've hit the

0:23:30.600 --> 0:23:33.720
<v Speaker 1>wide receivers in the corners, and we've talked about how

0:23:33.760 --> 0:23:36.520
<v Speaker 1>deep there. We've hit the edge rushers, a position that

0:23:36.600 --> 0:23:41.560
<v Speaker 1>Titans fans are always interested in. Offensive tackles. Dave McGinnis,

0:23:41.600 --> 0:23:43.679
<v Speaker 1>how many go in the top fifty after what you

0:23:43.720 --> 0:23:47.760
<v Speaker 1>saw in Indianapolis? Five? Yeah, yeah, yea yeah yeah. To me,

0:23:47.840 --> 0:23:49.879
<v Speaker 1>there will be five. You know. If you want the

0:23:49.960 --> 0:23:51.959
<v Speaker 1>names of him, here's the one that I go go

0:23:52.080 --> 0:23:54.840
<v Speaker 1>real early. I mean the first fifty picks. McKay Beckton

0:23:54.880 --> 0:23:59.040
<v Speaker 1>from Louisville, come on, beast, Jedrick Wills from Alabama, Tristan Worse.

0:23:59.160 --> 0:24:01.600
<v Speaker 1>Watching all these guys work, I mean, it's impressive to

0:24:01.600 --> 0:24:05.719
<v Speaker 1>watch uh Andrew Thomas from Georgia, Austin Jackson from USC

0:24:06.160 --> 0:24:09.600
<v Speaker 1>and then there's a next tier right below them that

0:24:09.680 --> 0:24:11.520
<v Speaker 1>it depends on how much you like them. They might

0:24:11.560 --> 0:24:15.240
<v Speaker 1>sneak in there. Lucas Nyang from TCU, Jis Jones from Houston,

0:24:15.320 --> 0:24:18.600
<v Speaker 1>Isaiah Wilson from Georgia who had a massive offensive line

0:24:18.640 --> 0:24:20.600
<v Speaker 1>this year. And then a guy that I really liked

0:24:20.640 --> 0:24:23.239
<v Speaker 1>that is moving up that people. He's much like, if

0:24:23.240 --> 0:24:24.800
<v Speaker 1>you like him, you're gonna take him and you don't

0:24:24.840 --> 0:24:27.640
<v Speaker 1>care what anybody else thinks about it is Ezra Cleveland

0:24:27.640 --> 0:24:31.159
<v Speaker 1>from Boise State. All Right, running back is the depth

0:24:31.200 --> 0:24:34.720
<v Speaker 1>that running back what you hope Dave McGinnis, Yes, absolutely

0:24:34.720 --> 0:24:37.360
<v Speaker 1>it is, and it is and when you and when

0:24:37.400 --> 0:24:39.800
<v Speaker 1>you watch, when you watch the running backs work, and

0:24:40.119 --> 0:24:41.960
<v Speaker 1>what I liked is they had some different drills for

0:24:41.960 --> 0:24:44.320
<v Speaker 1>the running backs this year that are more consistent with

0:24:44.359 --> 0:24:46.920
<v Speaker 1>what's going on in the National Football League. And there

0:24:47.000 --> 0:24:49.040
<v Speaker 1>is there is depth from top to bottom, and there's

0:24:49.080 --> 0:24:51.840
<v Speaker 1>also any flavor that you would want out of the

0:24:51.840 --> 0:24:54.320
<v Speaker 1>out of the running backs. Yes, my answer to that

0:24:54.720 --> 0:24:56.560
<v Speaker 1>is without a doubt. Yes. And let me let me

0:24:56.600 --> 0:24:59.960
<v Speaker 1>say this, if you're not looking for a premier running back,

0:25:00.200 --> 0:25:02.800
<v Speaker 1>but you're looking for a complimentary running back as to

0:25:02.800 --> 0:25:05.840
<v Speaker 1>what the National Football League is going to nowadays. There

0:25:05.880 --> 0:25:09.359
<v Speaker 1>are these people. So the fact that Clyde Edward Laire

0:25:09.560 --> 0:25:12.520
<v Speaker 1>ran a four six one forty does that bother you?

0:25:12.720 --> 0:25:15.199
<v Speaker 1>Not at all? Because his game is not that. His

0:25:15.320 --> 0:25:17.760
<v Speaker 1>game is between the tackles. His game is a physical game.

0:25:17.800 --> 0:25:20.200
<v Speaker 1>He can catch the football. This guy is a chain

0:25:20.280 --> 0:25:23.879
<v Speaker 1>mover and his competitive nature is off the charts. I

0:25:24.320 --> 0:25:26.600
<v Speaker 1>like him. That doesn't bother me at all. You know

0:25:26.640 --> 0:25:28.880
<v Speaker 1>what Reet Brian likes to talk about more than even

0:25:28.920 --> 0:25:33.560
<v Speaker 1>his daughter. No, that's not true. Almost as much as Gracie.

0:25:33.600 --> 0:25:36.600
<v Speaker 1>He likes to talk about defensive tackles in the twenty

0:25:36.640 --> 0:25:39.840
<v Speaker 1>twenty NFL draft, Reet Brian, give me some of the

0:25:39.920 --> 0:25:43.560
<v Speaker 1>defensive tackles that you like. Okay, well, ray Quan Williams

0:25:43.640 --> 0:25:48.000
<v Speaker 1>Michigan State, UH Richard Lawrence Lsu and I mentioned some

0:25:48.160 --> 0:25:50.720
<v Speaker 1>earlier in this and I go back to Neville Gallimore

0:25:50.840 --> 0:25:54.159
<v Speaker 1>from Oklahoma, and I mentioned he's six two three or

0:25:54.240 --> 0:26:00.040
<v Speaker 1>four forty, the Ottawa Madman there. According to esp in

0:26:00.119 --> 0:26:03.080
<v Speaker 1>Stat's information, Gallimore is just one of three defensive linemen

0:26:03.200 --> 0:26:07.520
<v Speaker 1>to post a sub four eighty since two thousand and six. Wow,

0:26:07.640 --> 0:26:11.200
<v Speaker 1>so again top Canadian prospect out of high school in

0:26:11.200 --> 0:26:14.480
<v Speaker 1>twenty fifteen before he redshirters freshman year at Oklahoma. I

0:26:14.560 --> 0:26:19.560
<v Speaker 1>mentioned the Davis twins of Nebraska, Carlos and Khalil good

0:26:19.600 --> 0:26:23.399
<v Speaker 1>combined workouts by them. Khalil's four seven five forty and

0:26:23.520 --> 0:26:27.720
<v Speaker 1>Carlos's four eight two forty are the other two top

0:26:28.080 --> 0:26:31.760
<v Speaker 1>big men speeds in this combine in this thing. A

0:26:31.880 --> 0:26:34.199
<v Speaker 1>guy that really helped himself in this group that is

0:26:34.240 --> 0:26:37.200
<v Speaker 1>coming on and this is Malcolm Rose from Texas. He's

0:26:37.200 --> 0:26:39.480
<v Speaker 1>a run stopping specialist. He's got the body of a

0:26:39.520 --> 0:26:43.440
<v Speaker 1>three technique six to two ninety seven, he's four eight

0:26:43.480 --> 0:26:46.240
<v Speaker 1>four and the forty thirty inch vertical leap for a

0:26:46.320 --> 0:26:51.720
<v Speaker 1>big guy nine five broad jump in this thing. A

0:26:51.840 --> 0:26:54.440
<v Speaker 1>guy that didn't help himself that I know we're gonna

0:26:54.440 --> 0:26:56.679
<v Speaker 1>get to is Derek Brown from Abrange. He's still a

0:26:56.680 --> 0:26:58.639
<v Speaker 1>the pick of the litters, all right, So let Derek

0:26:58.680 --> 0:27:03.840
<v Speaker 1>Brown and Brown beast for the Auburn Tigers. Beast didn't

0:27:03.880 --> 0:27:08.040
<v Speaker 1>have a great combine, Coach Mack, does Derek Brown drop

0:27:08.280 --> 0:27:11.239
<v Speaker 1>very much because of his combine? No, No, not at all.

0:27:11.320 --> 0:27:13.440
<v Speaker 1>There's too much. There's too much evidence on the tape

0:27:13.440 --> 0:27:16.239
<v Speaker 1>there he does not, and especially when you ask him

0:27:16.320 --> 0:27:18.280
<v Speaker 1>what to do. And that's and that's kind of the

0:27:18.359 --> 0:27:20.560
<v Speaker 1>yang and the yang of the combine. And you've got

0:27:20.560 --> 0:27:22.560
<v Speaker 1>to you've got to trust your eyes, you've got to

0:27:22.560 --> 0:27:25.479
<v Speaker 1>trust what the film says. And then just and it

0:27:25.520 --> 0:27:27.679
<v Speaker 1>wasn't like he was awful. It's just like some of

0:27:27.680 --> 0:27:29.560
<v Speaker 1>the big when you start, once you get when you

0:27:29.600 --> 0:27:32.720
<v Speaker 1>get to the combine, sometimes the environment, especially the external

0:27:32.800 --> 0:27:36.080
<v Speaker 1>environment of the combine is you got to wow somebody

0:27:36.080 --> 0:27:38.400
<v Speaker 1>with numbers to be a good football player. That could

0:27:38.400 --> 0:27:41.080
<v Speaker 1>not be further from the truth. This guy's a good

0:27:41.080 --> 0:27:44.040
<v Speaker 1>football player that won't touch it at all. Quarterbacks get

0:27:44.040 --> 0:27:46.800
<v Speaker 1>a lot of attention at the NFL Combine. I mean

0:27:46.880 --> 0:27:50.160
<v Speaker 1>for good reason. They're important guys. But what was the

0:27:50.240 --> 0:27:53.959
<v Speaker 1>top combine story and your guy's opinion when it comes

0:27:54.000 --> 0:27:57.000
<v Speaker 1>to the quarterback group RTT Well, I'm going to go

0:27:57.040 --> 0:28:01.160
<v Speaker 1>back to an earlier OTP and I think it's too

0:28:01.160 --> 0:28:04.359
<v Speaker 1>a tongue of Aloa winning the medical combine as he

0:28:04.440 --> 0:28:07.960
<v Speaker 1>wanted to do. And as we all know in this

0:28:08.160 --> 0:28:10.600
<v Speaker 1>the medical information that's cultivated out of this and it

0:28:10.680 --> 0:28:13.639
<v Speaker 1>is gleaned and the interviews are the biggest things that

0:28:13.920 --> 0:28:17.040
<v Speaker 1>evaluators and coaches and gms get out of this deal.

0:28:17.600 --> 0:28:20.640
<v Speaker 1>And his hospital visit there in Indianapolis to check out

0:28:20.680 --> 0:28:23.639
<v Speaker 1>that hip that had been fractured began at ten am Eastern.

0:28:24.040 --> 0:28:27.399
<v Speaker 1>It lasted nine more hours. But the thing is the

0:28:27.560 --> 0:28:30.280
<v Speaker 1>hips all good. He should be back to running and

0:28:30.320 --> 0:28:32.399
<v Speaker 1>showing off more of those kinds of skills by the

0:28:32.440 --> 0:28:35.200
<v Speaker 1>time that his pro day rolls around April the ninth,

0:28:35.480 --> 0:28:38.360
<v Speaker 1>which is timely in this thing because that happens to

0:28:38.400 --> 0:28:41.920
<v Speaker 1>be about three weeks plus from the NFL Draft. But

0:28:42.320 --> 0:28:44.720
<v Speaker 1>he won the medical combine in this and he was

0:28:44.800 --> 0:28:47.280
<v Speaker 1>a big story that first couple of days. Now, I

0:28:47.280 --> 0:28:49.600
<v Speaker 1>think people just wanted to see with their own eyes,

0:28:49.680 --> 0:28:52.960
<v Speaker 1>Jordan Love. You wanted to get in person and talk

0:28:53.000 --> 0:28:54.920
<v Speaker 1>with him, because there's a lot to work through there.

0:28:55.080 --> 0:28:57.800
<v Speaker 1>The quarterback from Utah State. Quarterback from Utah State. I

0:28:57.840 --> 0:29:00.560
<v Speaker 1>think that was that everybody was had that he did

0:29:00.600 --> 0:29:02.760
<v Speaker 1>all the drills, and you know, I would have loved

0:29:02.800 --> 0:29:04.520
<v Speaker 1>to have been on an interview with him, you know,

0:29:04.600 --> 0:29:06.400
<v Speaker 1>just to just to vet that guy and see what

0:29:06.440 --> 0:29:08.520
<v Speaker 1>he was. But there were a lot of people talking

0:29:08.560 --> 0:29:14.400
<v Speaker 1>about him, all right, So as we talk, let's discuss linebackers.

0:29:15.040 --> 0:29:19.080
<v Speaker 1>Kenneth Murray Oklahoma Patrick Queen Lsu both ran good forty times.

0:29:19.520 --> 0:29:23.040
<v Speaker 1>But then they pulled hamstrings. Did that Did that hurt

0:29:23.080 --> 0:29:25.440
<v Speaker 1>either one of us? Well? That bothered me. That bothered

0:29:25.440 --> 0:29:26.640
<v Speaker 1>me a lot when I was sitting up there with

0:29:26.720 --> 0:29:28.600
<v Speaker 1>a linebacker group, and I sit with a pretty big

0:29:28.600 --> 0:29:31.280
<v Speaker 1>linebacker group during those drills. You know that I have

0:29:31.360 --> 0:29:33.600
<v Speaker 1>for years. You know, some of the faces have gotten younger,

0:29:33.600 --> 0:29:36.640
<v Speaker 1>but some of them have stayed the same. And when

0:29:36.640 --> 0:29:38.360
<v Speaker 1>both of those guys ran and Murray ran a four

0:29:38.400 --> 0:29:39.920
<v Speaker 1>or five two on us first one, Queen ran a

0:29:39.920 --> 0:29:41.600
<v Speaker 1>four or five. Oh, and both of us, both of

0:29:41.680 --> 0:29:44.200
<v Speaker 1>us said, don't run another one. Don't want to run

0:29:44.240 --> 0:29:46.120
<v Speaker 1>another one. It's just like Isaiah Simmons when he came

0:29:46.120 --> 0:29:48.480
<v Speaker 1>out and jumped out what he did. Everybody said, don't

0:29:48.600 --> 0:29:52.200
<v Speaker 1>run another one? Just why? Four? Why? And and both

0:29:52.200 --> 0:29:54.120
<v Speaker 1>of them did, and they both they both tweaked to

0:29:54.200 --> 0:29:56.880
<v Speaker 1>ham I mean that bothered me. That will not hurt

0:29:56.960 --> 0:30:01.200
<v Speaker 1>their draft stock, but it will probably hurt their school workouts. Okay,

0:30:01.240 --> 0:30:02.840
<v Speaker 1>And there's gonna be a lot of people in it

0:30:03.000 --> 0:30:05.520
<v Speaker 1>because both of these guys are legit, I mean legit,

0:30:05.560 --> 0:30:07.640
<v Speaker 1>and I potential first round pick. Yes, they are, Mike,

0:30:07.680 --> 0:30:09.400
<v Speaker 1>and I didn't I didn't know. I didn't know what

0:30:09.600 --> 0:30:11.280
<v Speaker 1>you know Murray. I knew Queen better than I knew

0:30:11.320 --> 0:30:13.160
<v Speaker 1>Murray because I do that coach to coach show with

0:30:13.320 --> 0:30:15.200
<v Speaker 1>with you know, Doug Matthews during the year, and it

0:30:15.240 --> 0:30:17.760
<v Speaker 1>covers the Southeastern Conference, so I knew about him. I

0:30:17.760 --> 0:30:20.360
<v Speaker 1>didn't know that much about Murray at Oklahoma and they

0:30:20.360 --> 0:30:22.920
<v Speaker 1>haven't played defense at Oklahoma in ten years, you know.

0:30:23.000 --> 0:30:26.280
<v Speaker 1>But but this this guy since the Selman's Yeah, since

0:30:26.280 --> 0:30:30.040
<v Speaker 1>the Selman's Bosworth, Yeah, but this guy is legit and

0:30:30.200 --> 0:30:33.480
<v Speaker 1>he is legitimate, and uh, anyway, it bothered me, it

0:30:33.520 --> 0:30:35.760
<v Speaker 1>won't hurt their dress dog. Now, Mack, you mentioned that

0:30:35.800 --> 0:30:38.720
<v Speaker 1>Isaiah Simmons ran a four three nine rhet. Do you

0:30:38.760 --> 0:30:41.640
<v Speaker 1>think that that surprised teams that saw him run that?

0:30:41.920 --> 0:30:44.320
<v Speaker 1>I initially said yes, but I'm gonna say maybe, and

0:30:44.360 --> 0:30:46.280
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you why, because you remember, this guy was

0:30:46.320 --> 0:30:48.560
<v Speaker 1>asked to drop back in coverage and play some safety

0:30:48.560 --> 0:30:50.720
<v Speaker 1>at Clemson. Let me give you some of the stats

0:30:50.720 --> 0:30:53.240
<v Speaker 1>in this thing, because he was listed with the linebackers

0:30:53.280 --> 0:30:57.440
<v Speaker 1>group in this end linebackers, measuring in at six four,

0:30:57.480 --> 0:31:00.640
<v Speaker 1>He's in the ninety third percentile in height, thirty nine

0:31:00.640 --> 0:31:05.280
<v Speaker 1>inch vertical leap, ninety second percentile in that eleven foot

0:31:05.320 --> 0:31:09.920
<v Speaker 1>broad jump, ninety eight percentile, four three nine, the ninety

0:31:10.040 --> 0:31:13.960
<v Speaker 1>ninth percentile in linebackers. But unlike the aff we're mentioned

0:31:14.000 --> 0:31:17.600
<v Speaker 1>Kenneth Murray and Queen, he smartly ran a four thirty

0:31:17.680 --> 0:31:20.320
<v Speaker 1>nine on that first attempt. Shut it down. Teams will

0:31:20.320 --> 0:31:21.920
<v Speaker 1>get a further look at him on March the twelfth

0:31:21.920 --> 0:31:24.920
<v Speaker 1>at Clemson's Pro day. Well, Mac, so where does he play?

0:31:25.040 --> 0:31:27.120
<v Speaker 1>Is he a safety or is he a linebacker? Where

0:31:27.120 --> 0:31:28.960
<v Speaker 1>does he fit in the national photo? I think somebody

0:31:28.960 --> 0:31:31.400
<v Speaker 1>will start him out on the open side as a

0:31:31.480 --> 0:31:34.360
<v Speaker 1>dropdown guy and then use him everywhere in the sub packages.

0:31:34.360 --> 0:31:37.320
<v Speaker 1>We've already talked about sub packages being sixty percent of

0:31:37.320 --> 0:31:41.000
<v Speaker 1>your defense. Now, I mean what I've seen some beautiful athletes,

0:31:41.040 --> 0:31:44.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, in thirty five years at the combine, beautiful athlete.

0:31:44.360 --> 0:31:48.320
<v Speaker 1>This guy whoa, whoa, it's a whoa. I mean when

0:31:48.360 --> 0:31:50.240
<v Speaker 1>you just see him and you I mean, there are

0:31:50.280 --> 0:31:52.520
<v Speaker 1>some guys when they come up to the starting gates,

0:31:52.560 --> 0:31:57.160
<v Speaker 1>you go okay, and then just this guy. I think

0:31:57.160 --> 0:31:59.080
<v Speaker 1>they'll start him out though, on the open side. But

0:31:59.360 --> 0:32:01.640
<v Speaker 1>don't think he won't do what he did at Clemson.

0:32:02.080 --> 0:32:04.280
<v Speaker 1>He will. He will play, he will drop down, he

0:32:04.320 --> 0:32:06.920
<v Speaker 1>will match This guy is a perfect for what's going on.

0:32:07.160 --> 0:32:10.200
<v Speaker 1>This is a perfect tight end matchup guy. You know

0:32:10.200 --> 0:32:12.840
<v Speaker 1>how you have all those big combat catchers at tight ends, now,

0:32:13.040 --> 0:32:15.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this guy is a perfect matchup. If you're

0:32:15.160 --> 0:32:16.920
<v Speaker 1>going to go in and play against somebody even that's

0:32:16.960 --> 0:32:19.560
<v Speaker 1>got a wide receiver, that's a combat catcher that look,

0:32:19.600 --> 0:32:22.240
<v Speaker 1>you're talking about four, three, nine guys and so he

0:32:22.360 --> 0:32:24.320
<v Speaker 1>it's not like that he's going to be outrun by

0:32:24.640 --> 0:32:27.240
<v Speaker 1>very many receivers. Just squared up and as big and

0:32:27.280 --> 0:32:30.000
<v Speaker 1>as long as he is, this guy is a beautiful,

0:32:30.120 --> 0:32:33.280
<v Speaker 1>beautiful chess piece for a defense to use to match

0:32:33.360 --> 0:32:36.320
<v Speaker 1>up a lot of places. Dabbo Sweeney's defensive staff at

0:32:36.320 --> 0:32:41.320
<v Speaker 1>Clemson did a great job utilizing this kid. They absolutely did.

0:32:41.440 --> 0:32:44.880
<v Speaker 1>They absolutely did. You know, Brent Venables, who's their defensive coordinator,

0:32:45.040 --> 0:32:47.240
<v Speaker 1>I know very well he's a next Kansas State guy.

0:32:47.520 --> 0:32:50.360
<v Speaker 1>He does an excellent, excellent job. I've seen his playbook,

0:32:50.400 --> 0:32:53.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, I know what it is and what he does.

0:32:53.040 --> 0:32:55.160
<v Speaker 1>He does a lot of things akin to what goes

0:32:55.200 --> 0:32:58.800
<v Speaker 1>on in the national Football League. This guy whoever gets

0:32:58.840 --> 0:33:01.280
<v Speaker 1>this chess piece is going to be really happy. And

0:33:01.440 --> 0:33:04.400
<v Speaker 1>given what Coach Max just talked about, with his freakish

0:33:04.480 --> 0:33:08.680
<v Speaker 1>athletic ability and measurables and skill set, I think he's

0:33:08.880 --> 0:33:12.800
<v Speaker 1>the wild card defensive first round player in the draft

0:33:12.840 --> 0:33:16.280
<v Speaker 1>that Thursday night. Somebody could take him top five if

0:33:16.320 --> 0:33:18.680
<v Speaker 1>they just love him so much they don't think they

0:33:18.680 --> 0:33:22.520
<v Speaker 1>can live without him. Yeah, it's like having a star player,

0:33:22.840 --> 0:33:25.560
<v Speaker 1>a guy that plays the star position like Minca Fitzpatrick

0:33:25.720 --> 0:33:30.320
<v Speaker 1>on steroids. Yeah right, not, but not because he wouldn't

0:33:30.320 --> 0:33:34.719
<v Speaker 1>be playing four games minimum. And I know what you're mean,

0:33:34.800 --> 0:33:38.560
<v Speaker 1>absolutely as poor choice of words. That's okay, that's pretty good. Actually,

0:33:38.840 --> 0:33:40.800
<v Speaker 1>it's all right, funny, all right, Coach Mack, a bunch

0:33:40.800 --> 0:33:44.000
<v Speaker 1>of new drills at the combine. You like a bunch

0:33:44.040 --> 0:33:45.920
<v Speaker 1>of the new drills. We can't run through all of them.

0:33:46.600 --> 0:33:49.440
<v Speaker 1>Give me three of them that you really thought better

0:33:49.560 --> 0:33:52.760
<v Speaker 1>showcased the players football. I like to do Staley drill.

0:33:52.840 --> 0:33:54.960
<v Speaker 1>And here's what Staley drill. And here's what I like.

0:33:55.080 --> 0:33:57.160
<v Speaker 1>You know, do Staley as assistant head coach run game

0:33:57.200 --> 0:33:59.600
<v Speaker 1>coordinator at Philly. Here here's the thing I liked about

0:33:59.640 --> 0:34:02.720
<v Speaker 1>about do Staley's drill. And when you go to school workouts,

0:34:02.760 --> 0:34:05.000
<v Speaker 1>these are guys that are working out the guys because

0:34:05.000 --> 0:34:07.440
<v Speaker 1>you understand how school workout goes when you go, you know,

0:34:07.480 --> 0:34:09.759
<v Speaker 1>the the scouts set it up, but then they turn

0:34:09.840 --> 0:34:13.080
<v Speaker 1>the individual drills after they've done all their testing, they

0:34:13.160 --> 0:34:16.120
<v Speaker 1>turn that over to position coaches. There are some guys

0:34:16.160 --> 0:34:18.120
<v Speaker 1>that just you go to and you know we're gonna

0:34:18.160 --> 0:34:20.000
<v Speaker 1>be there. Do Staley that he runs a te He

0:34:20.080 --> 0:34:22.960
<v Speaker 1>runs a drill he called the T drill, puts two

0:34:23.000 --> 0:34:25.800
<v Speaker 1>bags together and then puts elongated bag and forms a

0:34:25.880 --> 0:34:27.960
<v Speaker 1>tea and then then they face him and they do

0:34:28.000 --> 0:34:29.960
<v Speaker 1>a lot of footwork within that tea, and then they

0:34:29.960 --> 0:34:32.880
<v Speaker 1>also come off and then evade after a real short stroke,

0:34:33.200 --> 0:34:35.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, coming out of that, out of that, out

0:34:35.120 --> 0:34:37.000
<v Speaker 1>of that tea, and what that What that shows you

0:34:37.239 --> 0:34:40.360
<v Speaker 1>because you've watched inside zone runs, outside zone runs, the

0:34:40.480 --> 0:34:43.200
<v Speaker 1>quick decisions back runners have to make and the foot

0:34:43.239 --> 0:34:45.200
<v Speaker 1>fire that they have to have inside to be able

0:34:45.239 --> 0:34:47.319
<v Speaker 1>to jump gaps and do those types of things and

0:34:47.360 --> 0:34:50.160
<v Speaker 1>then evade second levels, you know, coming off not coming

0:34:50.200 --> 0:34:52.520
<v Speaker 1>off flat. But that's what the t's for. It's it's

0:34:52.520 --> 0:34:54.840
<v Speaker 1>to make them come off with a little bit of separation.

0:34:55.000 --> 0:34:57.480
<v Speaker 1>I love the tea drill that he did. I mean

0:34:57.840 --> 0:35:00.680
<v Speaker 1>that one I really really like. Then then I like

0:35:00.800 --> 0:35:03.120
<v Speaker 1>the drill Terrell Austen does. Terrell Austen, you know, is

0:35:03.160 --> 0:35:05.920
<v Speaker 1>a is a defensive back coach. He's now a senior

0:35:05.920 --> 0:35:09.440
<v Speaker 1>defensive assistant. And what he does, what is more realistic

0:35:09.520 --> 0:35:12.120
<v Speaker 1>than just the long flip turns. You know this, you

0:35:12.120 --> 0:35:14.520
<v Speaker 1>don't ever see, you know what what what he does

0:35:14.560 --> 0:35:17.040
<v Speaker 1>with his it's backpedal five break down. He'll at a

0:35:17.120 --> 0:35:19.920
<v Speaker 1>forty five degree angle catch a ball, then he'll backpedal

0:35:19.960 --> 0:35:22.480
<v Speaker 1>five open the ninety What you have to do sometimes

0:35:22.719 --> 0:35:25.600
<v Speaker 1>on out route, sprint to a spot and then and

0:35:25.640 --> 0:35:28.000
<v Speaker 1>then break down and turn one hundred and eighty degrees

0:35:28.040 --> 0:35:30.640
<v Speaker 1>because the quarterback now has taken his directional key the

0:35:30.640 --> 0:35:32.480
<v Speaker 1>other way, and then go and catch it. And I

0:35:32.520 --> 0:35:34.680
<v Speaker 1>mean he has done that for years, And all the

0:35:34.719 --> 0:35:37.080
<v Speaker 1>school workouts that I've gone to I really like. And

0:35:37.160 --> 0:35:39.320
<v Speaker 1>my favorite of all and I was glad it's a

0:35:39.400 --> 0:35:42.799
<v Speaker 1>Jim Washburn drill. Jim Washburn drill. Jim Washburn drill, I

0:35:42.800 --> 0:35:45.759
<v Speaker 1>mean and Jim Washburn anytime that you went to work

0:35:45.760 --> 0:35:47.920
<v Speaker 1>out a player and Jim Washban was there of the

0:35:47.920 --> 0:35:49.640
<v Speaker 1>defensive line. You knew you were going to watch a

0:35:49.680 --> 0:35:52.440
<v Speaker 1>defensive lineman get a quality workout. And it's done with

0:35:52.440 --> 0:35:54.839
<v Speaker 1>the two hoops that former figure eight when you set

0:35:54.880 --> 0:35:57.040
<v Speaker 1>them together. And Jim used to do it with you know,

0:35:57.080 --> 0:35:59.080
<v Speaker 1>wash used to do it with tennis balls. They did

0:35:59.080 --> 0:36:01.960
<v Speaker 1>it at the combine with rolled up towels that were wrapped,

0:36:02.000 --> 0:36:04.000
<v Speaker 1>you know together. But you go and you bend, and

0:36:04.040 --> 0:36:06.120
<v Speaker 1>what it does. It sees if you can stay in

0:36:06.160 --> 0:36:09.279
<v Speaker 1>that motorcycle lean for an extended band, but also not

0:36:09.360 --> 0:36:12.520
<v Speaker 1>just run, but be able to balance and and to

0:36:12.600 --> 0:36:15.640
<v Speaker 1>pick up that You pick up the towel and take

0:36:15.640 --> 0:36:17.759
<v Speaker 1>it to the other corner of the or the other

0:36:17.800 --> 0:36:20.000
<v Speaker 1>side of the circumference you're running, to drop it and

0:36:20.000 --> 0:36:22.040
<v Speaker 1>then pick up with the alternate hand another one on

0:36:22.080 --> 0:36:24.360
<v Speaker 1>the way. It's a great drill. Wash used to do

0:36:24.360 --> 0:36:26.759
<v Speaker 1>it all the time. I love it. I'm glad they

0:36:26.760 --> 0:36:29.120
<v Speaker 1>incorporated it there, and I'm glad they gave him a

0:36:29.160 --> 0:36:33.040
<v Speaker 1>shout out on the network, you know broadcast. This is

0:36:33.040 --> 0:36:36.319
<v Speaker 1>the Jim Washburn drill. Of course, Daniel Jeremiah knows Jim

0:36:36.360 --> 0:36:39.960
<v Speaker 1>Washburn because well because he and he and Jeremiah and

0:36:40.120 --> 0:36:44.240
<v Speaker 1>Jeremiah Washburn worked together at Baltimore in a tremendous scouting department,

0:36:44.480 --> 0:36:46.719
<v Speaker 1>you know, for Ozzie Newsom. All right, where you've got

0:36:46.719 --> 0:36:48.640
<v Speaker 1>to wrap this thing up. We've talked about a lot

0:36:48.680 --> 0:36:52.239
<v Speaker 1>of stuff, So I want everybody to think about your

0:36:52.400 --> 0:36:56.480
<v Speaker 1>three players who helped themselves the most at the combine.

0:36:56.920 --> 0:36:59.000
<v Speaker 1>Mac You've got a notebook to flip through, So I'm

0:36:59.000 --> 0:37:01.480
<v Speaker 1>gonna start with ratt. Okay, I've got one on offense

0:37:01.480 --> 0:37:03.160
<v Speaker 1>and two on defense, and I will start with the

0:37:03.200 --> 0:37:05.080
<v Speaker 1>guy that I think was the story of the big

0:37:05.120 --> 0:37:07.920
<v Speaker 1>men in Indianapolis, and that's McKay Beckton, the tackle out

0:37:07.920 --> 0:37:10.200
<v Speaker 1>of Louisville, one of the biggest men in this draft.

0:37:10.760 --> 0:37:14.280
<v Speaker 1>Six foot seven, three eights inches, three hundred sixty four pounds,

0:37:14.400 --> 0:37:18.160
<v Speaker 1>arms thirty five and five eights, wingspan over eighty three inches,

0:37:18.480 --> 0:37:20.960
<v Speaker 1>twenty three reps at two twenty five. But the most

0:37:20.960 --> 0:37:24.440
<v Speaker 1>impressive thing he ran a five eleven forty time at

0:37:24.480 --> 0:37:27.920
<v Speaker 1>three hundred sixty four pounds. To put that in perspective,

0:37:27.960 --> 0:37:31.720
<v Speaker 1>it's one tenth slower than quarterback Jake from who weighs

0:37:31.719 --> 0:37:35.480
<v Speaker 1>one hundred forty five pounds less than McKay Beckton. At

0:37:35.520 --> 0:37:40.319
<v Speaker 1>at his size only seventeen percent body fat, so he

0:37:40.480 --> 0:37:43.440
<v Speaker 1>is in pretty dog gone good shape. He was a

0:37:43.480 --> 0:37:45.399
<v Speaker 1>conversation of the big men of the combine. Coach Mack

0:37:45.440 --> 0:37:47.160
<v Speaker 1>will say he'll never have to run forty yards, but

0:37:47.200 --> 0:37:49.279
<v Speaker 1>he could do it if he had to. That's the first.

0:37:49.440 --> 0:37:52.239
<v Speaker 1>It's the first to give us your other two. Justin Mattabek.

0:37:52.520 --> 0:37:55.160
<v Speaker 1>He's the one interior defensive lineman that I have not

0:37:56.080 --> 0:37:57.799
<v Speaker 1>mentioned in all this and could be a pass right

0:37:57.920 --> 0:38:00.399
<v Speaker 1>Texas an ax his A and M six two five

0:38:00.520 --> 0:38:04.520
<v Speaker 1>eight two ninety three wingspan over eighty inches, ran A

0:38:04.640 --> 0:38:08.719
<v Speaker 1>four eight three forty third among all interior linemen at

0:38:08.719 --> 0:38:11.080
<v Speaker 1>two ninety three thirty one reps at two twenty five,

0:38:11.160 --> 0:38:12.920
<v Speaker 1>in the top five with that category of the three

0:38:13.040 --> 0:38:15.840
<v Speaker 1>hundred and thirty seven that were invited, and had the

0:38:15.920 --> 0:38:19.520
<v Speaker 1>best three cone drill time, which shows that lateral movement

0:38:19.560 --> 0:38:24.680
<v Speaker 1>at seven three one initial reports we're talking about. He

0:38:24.719 --> 0:38:27.360
<v Speaker 1>didn't have a good first step get off, but he

0:38:27.440 --> 0:38:31.720
<v Speaker 1>had one point seven four second split in the forty

0:38:31.760 --> 0:38:34.080
<v Speaker 1>That as a guy that's rising up the charts in

0:38:34.120 --> 0:38:35.480
<v Speaker 1>this and the last one is a guy and had

0:38:35.480 --> 0:38:39.160
<v Speaker 1>off field trouble with Mississippi State. He was suspended nine

0:38:39.320 --> 0:38:42.839
<v Speaker 1>eight games during twenty twenty nineteen, had an altercation right

0:38:42.880 --> 0:38:45.799
<v Speaker 1>here at the Music City Bowl with his freshman quarterback.

0:38:46.120 --> 0:38:48.839
<v Speaker 1>And that's Willie Gay, junior of Mississippi State. Six one

0:38:48.920 --> 0:38:52.120
<v Speaker 1>and one eights, two forty three hands, an enormous ten

0:38:52.160 --> 0:38:56.360
<v Speaker 1>and four eight inches wingspan at seventy eight inches. He

0:38:56.600 --> 0:38:59.719
<v Speaker 1>ran a forty yard dash in four four six, had

0:38:59.760 --> 0:39:02.960
<v Speaker 1>an eleven foot four inch broad jump, and a thirty

0:39:03.040 --> 0:39:06.080
<v Speaker 1>nine and a half inch vertical. This is a guy

0:39:06.440 --> 0:39:09.360
<v Speaker 1>if the interviews went well about whatever happened off the field.

0:39:09.840 --> 0:39:13.799
<v Speaker 1>Is another linebacker prospect that is rising. Justin Jefferson the LSU.

0:39:13.880 --> 0:39:16.080
<v Speaker 1>We've already talked about him going in and I'm looking

0:39:16.120 --> 0:39:17.880
<v Speaker 1>at my notes here. I got verse to wide receiver

0:39:17.960 --> 0:39:21.439
<v Speaker 1>skills to play from slot to outside, great route runner, hands,

0:39:21.520 --> 0:39:24.520
<v Speaker 1>ball skills. But he showed the speed that he has.

0:39:24.560 --> 0:39:26.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't think anybody thought that he had the speed

0:39:26.400 --> 0:39:28.960
<v Speaker 1>that he did. I thought he helped himselves. And along

0:39:29.000 --> 0:39:30.879
<v Speaker 1>that line, I talked about the tight Ends not being

0:39:30.920 --> 0:39:33.480
<v Speaker 1>a real deep group. I thought two tight ends helped himselves.

0:39:33.640 --> 0:39:37.879
<v Speaker 1>Albert Okweebinamen from from Missouri. I mean, look, he didn't

0:39:37.920 --> 0:39:39.680
<v Speaker 1>have a great year this year. We all know that.

0:39:39.800 --> 0:39:42.800
<v Speaker 1>But six five, two hundred and fifty pounds, the second

0:39:42.800 --> 0:39:45.120
<v Speaker 1>fastest guy for a player that size. He ran four

0:39:45.239 --> 0:39:47.480
<v Speaker 1>four nine. Okay, And so you're talking about a guy

0:39:47.560 --> 0:39:49.480
<v Speaker 1>that big, that can run that fast. You'll find a

0:39:49.520 --> 0:39:52.040
<v Speaker 1>place for him. You'll fix him, all right. Missouri had

0:39:52.040 --> 0:39:55.280
<v Speaker 1>problems besides him. But this guy, this guy helped himself

0:39:55.280 --> 0:39:58.640
<v Speaker 1>a lot. Another tight end, Joseph of Josiah du Quarra

0:39:58.800 --> 0:40:02.160
<v Speaker 1>from since Nattie. This tight end helped himself. He's six two,

0:40:02.239 --> 0:40:05.000
<v Speaker 1>two hundred and forty two pounds, twenty five bench press

0:40:05.280 --> 0:40:07.800
<v Speaker 1>thirty five and a half vert four seven two forty.

0:40:07.800 --> 0:40:10.000
<v Speaker 1>This is a guy that you can split out. People

0:40:10.040 --> 0:40:12.919
<v Speaker 1>are using so many h backs in twelve personnel right now.

0:40:13.120 --> 0:40:16.439
<v Speaker 1>He helped himself quite a He helped himself quite a bit.

0:40:16.719 --> 0:40:18.799
<v Speaker 1>Can we give Mac a round of applause from the

0:40:18.920 --> 0:40:21.120
<v Speaker 1>names that he just whipped out of there like that.

0:40:21.200 --> 0:40:25.000
<v Speaker 1>I came in with my pronunciation chart to say noah igbinogny,

0:40:25.400 --> 0:40:27.200
<v Speaker 1>and I thought that I was just going to blow

0:40:27.239 --> 0:40:29.120
<v Speaker 1>you all out of the water. Max over here just

0:40:29.239 --> 0:40:31.520
<v Speaker 1>ripping these names like he had dinner with him last week.

0:40:32.040 --> 0:40:34.640
<v Speaker 1>This is not his first round Okay, So we don't

0:40:34.680 --> 0:40:38.200
<v Speaker 1>have we don't have a typical what's brewing on this

0:40:38.440 --> 0:40:41.960
<v Speaker 1>edition of the OTP, but I do have a what's

0:40:42.000 --> 0:40:48.239
<v Speaker 1>brewing for each of you to basically say possible or

0:40:48.880 --> 0:40:55.520
<v Speaker 1>not as realistic. I've pulled five five mock drafts post Combine, okay,

0:40:55.520 --> 0:40:58.359
<v Speaker 1>and I've looked at who they have selected in these

0:40:58.400 --> 0:41:01.120
<v Speaker 1>mock drafts for the Titans. I want to see what

0:41:01.320 --> 0:41:05.560
<v Speaker 1>you think, beginning with coach Mack, and then we'll work around.

0:41:05.800 --> 0:41:07.880
<v Speaker 1>All right, So Amy, you're involved in this too. This

0:41:08.000 --> 0:41:12.880
<v Speaker 1>is your what's brewing assignment as well? Can I say this?

0:41:13.160 --> 0:41:16.279
<v Speaker 1>I like is involved? I usually get tricked in this,

0:41:18.239 --> 0:41:23.319
<v Speaker 1>No trick. ESPN's Todd McShay says, the Tennessee Titans, with

0:41:23.400 --> 0:41:28.600
<v Speaker 1>the twenty ninth pick will select Andrew Thomas, offensive tackle Georgia.

0:41:29.000 --> 0:41:33.520
<v Speaker 1>Coach Mack could that happen? Yes, Amy wells, sure, absolutely

0:41:33.560 --> 0:41:38.120
<v Speaker 1>it could, all right. NFL Networks Daniel Jeremiah says, with

0:41:38.160 --> 0:41:42.200
<v Speaker 1>the twenty ninth pick, the Tennessee Titans select Joshua Jones,

0:41:42.280 --> 0:41:47.680
<v Speaker 1>offensive tackle Houston. No, yes, yes, says coach Mack. The

0:41:47.760 --> 0:41:52.759
<v Speaker 1>Athletics Dane Brugler says at pick number twenty nine, the

0:41:52.800 --> 0:41:58.920
<v Speaker 1>Tennessee Titans select Ezra Cleveland offensive tackle Boise State. You

0:41:58.960 --> 0:42:01.239
<v Speaker 1>heard that name already, you said it. You heard that

0:42:01.360 --> 0:42:05.960
<v Speaker 1>name already. H to me, maybe not not there, okay,

0:42:06.000 --> 0:42:09.000
<v Speaker 1>I'd take it. Not there, lower, not there, okay. So

0:42:09.120 --> 0:42:12.719
<v Speaker 1>Sports Illustrated puts together their own mock and with the

0:42:12.719 --> 0:42:16.320
<v Speaker 1>twenty ninth pick, Sports Illustrated says, the Tennessee Titans select

0:42:16.719 --> 0:42:23.120
<v Speaker 1>Kristen Fulton cornerback lsu Rett Bryant. I could absolutely see that, okay, yes, yes,

0:42:23.239 --> 0:42:26.400
<v Speaker 1>I agree to Bleacher Reports. Matt Miller says, with the

0:42:26.480 --> 0:42:29.160
<v Speaker 1>twenty ninth pick, aim, you're going first here, okay. With

0:42:29.200 --> 0:42:33.320
<v Speaker 1>the twenty ninth pick, the Tennessee Titans select Jonathan Taylor,

0:42:33.480 --> 0:42:39.040
<v Speaker 1>running back Wisconsin. No, yes, yes, really, Oh, that guy's

0:42:39.080 --> 0:42:44.359
<v Speaker 1>a big dude. Yes, this is why we played the game.

0:42:45.600 --> 0:42:50.320
<v Speaker 1>He read what was his forty at the combine and

0:42:50.440 --> 0:42:53.000
<v Speaker 1>that's for a dude, a big dude. Now, the only

0:42:53.040 --> 0:42:55.799
<v Speaker 1>concern I have for him, that's none, that's not mine,

0:42:55.840 --> 0:42:58.120
<v Speaker 1>And I know what you're gonna say. It is the

0:42:58.200 --> 0:43:01.759
<v Speaker 1>wear and tear. He has nine hundred and thirty six

0:43:01.880 --> 0:43:06.719
<v Speaker 1>carries in this game. But that's what they have, right

0:43:07.840 --> 0:43:10.440
<v Speaker 1>nearly a thousand carries in college. Guess which game we're

0:43:10.440 --> 0:43:13.279
<v Speaker 1>gonna keep playing through the rest of the spray. Hey, nah,

0:43:13.640 --> 0:43:16.239
<v Speaker 1>it's correct. Rhet Brian, how do people follow you on
