1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:06,439
Speaker 1: And now move the sticks with Daniel, Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks.

2
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 1: What's up? Everybody? Welcome to move the sticks? DJ. Buck

3
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 1: with you Buck? How are you doing, my friend?

4
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:11,880
Speaker 2: I'm good, DJ.

5
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:15,240
Speaker 3: It is now the countdown is own because, as you know,

6
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 3: in our line of work, once it gets to the

7
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 3: fourth of July, it is now a downhill run to

8
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 3: training camp and all that other stuff. So the fourth

9
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:25,640
Speaker 3: of July, when you're work in the front office, that's

10
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 3: when you always have your fingers crossed. You want to

11
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 3: make sure that none of your players get in trouble

12
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 3: at any incidents. It appears that we kind of went

13
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:36,479
Speaker 3: through the league unscathed, and so now you start to

14
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 3: set your your eyes to the twentieth, nineteen twentieth when

15
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,879
Speaker 3: everyone is beginning to reward it back to camp so

16
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:44,160
Speaker 3: we can have it a lot of fun.

17
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:46,519
Speaker 1: It's fun. It's definitely a fun time. Ere one of

18
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 1: the you know, I've talked in the past about how

19
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:52,519
Speaker 1: much I enjoy the magazine season. You know, you get

20
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 1: a chance to get those magazines, those preview magazines, to

21
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,279
Speaker 1: read them and everything. I also got to say, man,

22
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: there's so many cool resources. Now I just want to

23
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 1: highlight two of them here as we're kind of starting.

24
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: But two of the guys that I think are two

25
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: of the smartest people in the football space. And I

26
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 1: know you're familiar with both. But Dan Casey who does

27
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 1: his his play of the day and all that stuff

28
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: on social media. It's phenomenal. And he's he sent me

29
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 1: his new little book he's got here, which is awesome.

30
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,960
Speaker 1: It's just trends in offensive football. You kind of scroll

31
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 1: through it. And again he didn't ask me to do

32
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 1: any of this promo for you. I'm just kind of

33
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: showing you what a cool idea it is. Like he'll

34
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 1: show you some of like the hot new plays, so

35
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: he'll diagram them for you. But then he's got a

36
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,479
Speaker 1: QR code, so you can just scan the QR code

37
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,479
Speaker 1: and you can watch video of it to kind of see,

38
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 1: you know, some of the latest trends and what's going

39
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: on in offensive football. So if you're kind of a

40
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: football nerd. For my little book recommendations, I'll give you

41
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 1: that one. That would be the first one. The next

42
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: one I would give you how about this media How

43
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: about this media book here from our friend Warren Sharp.

44
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: I mean, buck, look at how thick. This thing is

45
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: that is crazy. Look at this thing. I mean it

46
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: is just chalk full of information. I mean you talk

47
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: about deep analytical dives based off of you know, efficiency

48
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: for these teams, teams, based off tendencies, based off schedules.

49
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: He's got every area covered, heat maps, you name it.

50
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: So if you're again these are like we're we're football nerds.

51
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 1: These are football nerd type books. So I would I

52
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: would encourage you guys to be on the lookout for

53
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 1: those great, great little summer rings. Something to get you

54
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: kind of going as we get ready for the start

55
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 1: of the season.

56
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 3: Buck Look, man, it's coming, it's coming. Past Like you,

57
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 3: I love reading all the preview stuff like it kind

58
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 3: of helps you kind of past the times, gives you

59
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:28,799
Speaker 3: a little knowledge. And then we've talked about the college

60
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 3: football stuff getting ready. Even though nil in the transfer

61
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 3: porter has changed a lot of that. You do like

62
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:36,679
Speaker 3: to see who are the movers and shakers, who with

63
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 3: the guys that you're expecting to break out as we

64
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 3: get to the college football season.

65
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 1: No doubt, Bucket's time for Hot or Not brought to

66
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: you by with Sabi Hot Cloud Storage. I'm going to

67
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: get to some NFL and from stuff that went down

68
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 1: while we were away, including you know, basically we're gonna

69
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: hit on that big Pittsburgh Miami swap of some big

70
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: name players. So when to get to the NFL side

71
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 1: of things. I also, you know, want to hit on

72
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 1: some college quarterbacks. Have had a chance to dig in

73
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: and watch a little bit, get your thoughts on some

74
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 1: of that stuff. But as we start off here again,

75
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:06,679
Speaker 1: it's Hot or Not time brought to you by a

76
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: Sabi Hot Cloud storage. I was thinking about how college

77
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: football is turning into professional football. We've got a salary cap,

78
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: We've got revenues that's being you know, divvied up amongst players.

79
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 1: It's pro sports. It is what it is that we're there.

80
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: So I was thinking if we're going to start adopting

81
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 1: a lot of the similarities from the NFL game down

82
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: to the college game. I was just thinking about this

83
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 1: the other day. What do you think about preseason? Give

84
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 1: me a preseason college game. Doesn't count towards your record,

85
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: but just a preseason game.

86
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 3: I mean, I would like to look. I would like

87
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 3: to see what coach Prime and Pran Brown were brewing

88
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 3: on in springball. I think we have to be in

89
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 3: that lane because you have to have a reason to

90
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 3: tune in. If you're not going to have springball as

91
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 3: it is, you got to give me something DJ joint practices,

92
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 3: script something.

93
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: But forget the spring. Let's do it now. Like just

94
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: we're getting ready to go out to training camps and

95
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: we're going to see joint We're going to see teams

96
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: working together as we get towards the start of the season.

97
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: So if we basically turn college football into pro football,

98
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: why the heck, why don't we just do that? To me,

99
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: that's a great way. Versus having your inner squad scrimmage

100
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: in front of an empty stadium. You might be able

101
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: to sell out the stadium and say, hey, we're going

102
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 1: to get some good work in here with another team

103
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: in a different conference.

104
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 3: Well yeah, well, like, look, there's nothing you always hear

105
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 3: coaches talk about you don't know your team until you

106
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 3: get three four games in. If you start having a

107
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 3: pre season game, that helps you as a coach to

108
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 3: at least know some of the guys that you thought

109
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 3: could play me and not be able to play some

110
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 3: of the guys you didn't think he played. Maybe they

111
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 3: played better, but it gives you, like some real hard information.

112
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 3: So now we go to the season opener, at least

113
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,479
Speaker 3: we have a better feel for our team because they

114
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 3: haven't done anything. They haven't done anything the entire offseason,

115
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 3: but go good on good their own versus their own.

116
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 3: So it can be misleading in terms of you thinking

117
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 3: that your team is better or worse than it is.

118
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 3: A preseason game, a scrimmage, whatever we want to call it.

119
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 3: It gives you a chance to make some solid assessments

120
00:04:58,640 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 3: on your squad.

121
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 1: Again, if we talk about things being similar from the

122
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,719
Speaker 1: NFL and the college level, we've always talked about the

123
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 1: paranoia of coaches. Is this something where you think it's, Hey,

124
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 1: I don't want to expose maybe this red shirt kid

125
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: to another school to see how good he is, and

126
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: then I got to play defense at the portal. I

127
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: wonder if that factors into it.

128
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 3: I mean, it does factor into it, but that can't

129
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 3: be a part of your decision making. We got to

130
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 3: understand what it is like. You can't be afraid either

131
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,280
Speaker 3: your kid is gonna stay because he loves what you're doing,

132
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 3: loves the relationship you have with him, loves the program,

133
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 3: or not. I mean, the money's gonna be the money,

134
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 3: and sometimes the money is too good to pass up,

135
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 3: so it doesn't matter it. I don't think you can

136
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 3: hide people in today's age, Like there's just too much

137
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 3: access cameras, videos that people.

138
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 1: Are sending schools and sending agents their practice.

139
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 3: It's already out there. So I don't think. I think

140
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 3: the days if you're trying to stash somebody away, yeah,

141
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 3: you can forget about that. Everyone knows everybody, all right.

142
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: Just to wrap up this quick one though, thumbs up

143
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: thumbs down preseason let's go one preseason game for college football.

144
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 1: Would you be thumbs up or thumbs down on it?

145
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,039
Speaker 3: Like anytime I got a chance to see more football,

146
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 3: I want to do it. In DJ, I would say,

147
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 3: bump the calendar up for college football. And so I

148
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 3: think they started last week. Let's move this to the

149
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 3: fifteenth of August somewhere and then week so we had

150
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 3: the preseason game, give us two weeks. Then we need

151
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 3: to kick the thing.

152
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,280
Speaker 2: Off, like it needs to kick up.

153
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 3: Preson gave two weeks to look evaluate, make some adjustments

154
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 3: and changes. Then we need to kick this thing off.

155
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 3: Everyone needs to kick off around the same time.

156
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like it. I just think it'd be fun

157
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 1: again if we're going to kind of go to the

158
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 1: professional model, and we're already so far down that road,

159
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: let's embrace some of the other things that makes some

160
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 1: sense that one would work for me. That was this

161
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,039
Speaker 1: week's Hot or Not segment, brought to you by with

164
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: mentioned the trade buck your thoughts. Jalen Ramsey. He goes

165
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 1: from Miami to Pittsburgh. Minka Fitzpatrick goes from Pittsburg to Miami.

166
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: John new Smith also a part of that deal. He

167
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: ends up reuniting with Arthur Smith, pairing up there with

168
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

169
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 3: DJ to me, this is about the Miami Dolphins resetting

170
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 3: their culture. People that talk about the money and the

171
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 3: cap implications those things. I think the moves that they

172
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 3: made in the off season have little to do with

173
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 3: that and more to do with getting the right people

174
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 3: in the locker room. I think Mike McDaniel wants to

175
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 3: make sure that he has a team that he not

176
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 3: only feels good about in terms of how they perform,

177
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 3: but more so, like Amen who is the team that

178
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 3: I can lose with? Meaning, hey, if it doesn't go right,

179
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 3: do I have the right guys in the locker room

180
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 3: that I think I can pull our team out of

181
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 3: because everyone is pulling the boat in the right direction.

182
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 3: I think this was a part of it. Jayalen Ramsey,

183
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 3: who was a mercenary at this stage of his career,

184
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 3: he kind of goes from team to team, helps them

185
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 3: play at another level, but it can be a lot

186
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 3: to deal with in the locker room. To me, it

187
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 3: appeared that's rent. Of course they needed to move on,

188
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 3: and this was a great opportunity for them to move

189
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 3: on and get back a player who, by all accounts,

190
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 3: Minka Fitzpatrick is an a one player in the locker room,

191
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 3: good player on the field. He will help their defense

192
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 3: go to the next level. So to me, it was

193
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 3: a fair swap. And now the John new Smith piece,

194
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 3: it's gonna hurt them losing them, but everyone gonna pay

195
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 3: JOHNA Smith why he wanted, so it makes sense to

196
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 3: get rid of all.

197
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: Right, let me hit you up on this side of it.

198
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: So if we if we go to Menka Fitzpatrick, let's

199
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: start there on that, on that and you're right by

200
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:34,719
Speaker 1: all accounts, and this is what he was coming out

201
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: in terms of the character leadership like proch pro that

202
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: was I mean, that was kind of his calling card.

203
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 1: But I'm curious where you sit on you know, if

204
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 1: we're just gonna go production. Fuck. I mean, because you

205
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 1: start looking at these years, like let's just go to

206
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen in Pittsburgh. That's first year in Pittsburgh. Five picks,

207
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,079
Speaker 1: next year four picks, then two picks, then six picks.

208
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: That gets you to twenty twenty two. Buck, if you

209
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: look at twenty three and twenty four, he's played twenty

210
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 1: seven games, he only played ten games and twenty three,

211
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: but just go on production. No picks in twenty three

212
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 1: to one pick in twenty four behind a pass rush

213
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 1: that is pretty good. I mean they've got guys that

214
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: can get home and all that. So safety wise, I know, look,

215
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 1: some of it's and that your production is never going

216
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,079
Speaker 1: to be is you know, it's not going to be

217
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:21,839
Speaker 1: a flat line. There's going to be ups and downs.

218
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 1: But one pick in two years, Buck, is that worrisome?

219
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 3: I mean it's worrisome because he's been such a turnover

220
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 3: magnet early in his career. It's not only the interceptions,

221
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 3: is horsmumbles, fumble recovery, is just always being active and

222
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,079
Speaker 3: around it. He hasn't been as active as you would

223
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 3: like to see him. That said, his value to me

224
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 3: in Miami is as the traffic cop getting people lined up,

225
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 3: doing all the things, the high IQ stuff he can handle.

226
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,319
Speaker 3: But more importantly the person that he was coming out

227
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 3: of Alabama when Nick Saban raved about his leadership and

228
00:09:55,840 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 3: his preparation process and all of those things. The Miami

229
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 3: Dolphins they just need a greater sense of professionalism in

230
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 3: the locker room. Mika Fitzpatrick is going to do that

231
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 3: in a system where Anthony Weaver and Joe Barry are

232
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 3: trying to do a little more sea ball get ball.

233
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 3: Those numbers may spike again in terms of the interception numbers,

234
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 3: his ability to pick things off off tips and overthrows.

235
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,439
Speaker 3: I look for him to get back to playing at

236
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 3: that Pro Bowl, all pro level down in Miami.

237
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, it'll be good opportunity for him there. I

238
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: just when I look at that Dolphins team, it's just

239
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: kind of I get the leadership side of it. I

240
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 1: just look at it. It's kind of a I don't

241
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 1: want to use the phrase hodge podgy, but like he's

242
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 1: trying to see how this whole thing's gonna fit together. Man,

243
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 1: Like I they need to stay healthy up front and

244
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 1: start there, but just trying to see how this whole

245
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,079
Speaker 1: puzzle piece fits together. I'm just not sure.

246
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 3: You know, the funny thing is they may be a

247
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 3: lesser talented team, but maybe a better team in terms

248
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 3: of all of the parts fitting together, because right now,

249
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 3: when we're looking, Tyreek Hill is probably the only outlier

250
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 3: personality wise in that locker room. Now it appears that

251
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 3: they have more guys that are kind of like minded,

252
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 3: more kind of team first, not saying that Tyreek Hill

253
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 3: is a team first guy, but like they're more in

254
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 3: that same vein. So maybe for them it is better

255
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 3: to take a step back and move away from some

256
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:26,439
Speaker 3: of the stars and have a better team.

257
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 2: Where it gets tricky to me, Pittsburgh DJ.

258
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh is different because we've seen Mike Tomlin work with

259
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 3: a bunch of unique personalities in those things and they've

260
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 3: had a level of success. But DJ, this is this

261
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 3: kind of harkens back to the personalities that they had

262
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 3: with Leveon Bell, Antonia Brown, being Roethlisberger like that era,

263
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,559
Speaker 3: the Killer Bee era. They're kind of back to that.

264
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 3: DK Metcalf, Jalen Ramsey. I thought they had a little

265
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 3: thing going when the Rams and the Seahawks played. I

266
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 3: thought they went back and forth a little bit in

267
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 3: terms of being testy. Then you throw Aaron Rodgers into

268
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 3: that mix, you have some other players and that this

269
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 3: locker room is more well, it's always been combustible, but

270
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 3: it's more combustible now on the surface than we've ever

271
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 3: seen it.

272
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: I think this is my This is my at least

273
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 1: outside in look at Pittsburgh. If you look at Pittsburgh

274
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, Okay, I know they're over

275
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 1: five hundred every year, but I thought they kind of

276
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: lost their identity a little bit. Remember, the offensive line

277
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: was not good. They weren't physical like they had traditionally been.

278
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: And then I looked at them over the last couple

279
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 1: of years. Buck, when I was in Baltimore, we used

280
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: to talk about building a bully, you know, that was

281
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 1: like one of our lines that we used. And if

282
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: you look at it, I mean just from the pieces

283
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,199
Speaker 1: they've brought in over the last couple of years and

284
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: included in that. I would put d k Metcalf, who

285
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,319
Speaker 1: might be the biggest bully wide receiver in the NFL.

286
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 1: I mean, throw him into that mix. Jalen Ramsey is

287
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 1: literally and he is an old school bully, That's what

288
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 1: That's who he is. Like he is going to try

289
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: and get in your face, and he's got an edge

290
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: to him. There's a there's kind of a little bit

291
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 1: of a fighter spirit into him. I look along, you

292
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: know when you invest in the offensive line with these

293
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 1: first round picks with Broderick Jones, Troy Fatanu, like those

294
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 1: are those are physical, you know, guys. Zach Frasier is

295
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: a center who's one of the best young centers in

296
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 1: the NFL, already coming off his rookie year. Wrestler kind

297
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: of a bully mentality. Buck they have the largest tight

298
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: end in the NFL. He might be he could be

299
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 1: on the verge of being the largest tight end in

300
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 1: NFL history. In Darnelt Washington, Like, I don't know what

301
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 1: he weighs, but it's I would guess well north over

302
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 1: three hundred pounds. So they're they're kind of like they're

303
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,559
Speaker 1: kind of assembling all the pieces that they've kind of

304
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 1: added now John new Smith is going to be kind

305
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: of their move guy. You can do a lot of

306
00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: different things, really productive, but there's a lot of bully

307
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 1: on that team. They've hadded in the last couple of years.

308
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 3: So, DJ, my dad was a longtime high school coach,

309
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 3: and I think I've shared this with you. You always talked

310
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 3: about and you got to understand, like you talk about

311
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 3: your dad and the word, and my dad of the

312
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,439
Speaker 3: word deacon in the church, like very right down to think,

313
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 3: but there is something that he believes when it comes

314
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 3: to football that and he'll say, like, hey man, you

315
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 3: ain't gonna win no championships until you got a couple

316
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 3: of those guys with the hat on sideways. You can't

317
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 3: you can't have you can't have too many of them,

318
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 3: but you got to have a couple with the hat

319
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 3: is a little cock to the side, and you got

320
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 3: to rein them in a little bit. And what I'm

321
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 3: hearing you say is that Pittsburgh had gotten away from that.

322
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 3: And then when I started thinking as you were talking,

323
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 3: I started thinking about not only the Tomlin days, but

324
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 3: I thought thinking about the Coward days, Harrison and very

325
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 3: edge edgy Foot and they had some of those guys

326
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 3: that you'd be.

327
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 2: Like whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

328
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 3: And I've heard you say it's a lot easy to

329
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 3: say whoa the giddy up. And maybe, as we're talking

330
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 3: about the Pittsburgh Steelers, maybe they're not as quote unquote

331
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 3: talented where they can overwhelm you. So maybe they're like,

332
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 3: our edge is our toughness, are to nasty and that

333
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 3: little extra thing that we bring to the field, that

334
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 3: we're gonna make you go to the dark place. And

335
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 3: I thought it coincides a little bit with Jayalen Ramsey

336
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 3: releasing that video and the old Stealers where you conjure

337
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 3: up those old images of male Blunt and how those teams.

338
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 3: There is something too when the Pittsburgh Steelers have always

339
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 3: been good DJ as a coach, you kind of have

340
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 3: to turn your back a little bit, like I didn't

341
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 3: see that if I'm sorry, I didn't you know we.

342
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: I mean, this feels to me like you're gonna have

343
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: Sleigh who they brought in on one side. I think

344
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 1: Joy Porter Junior will be on the other, and then

345
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 1: Jalen's gonna be your big nickel. And guess what happens

346
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 1: when you wanna when you wanna you want to dictate

347
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: all your all your protection over to TJ. Watt well Man,

348
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: you got they've got some other pass rushers they can

349
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: get home now. And now you add Jalen Ramsey's a

350
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 1: potential blitzer into the mix. Like that's kind of fun.

351
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: You know, it's kind of fun how they've assembled this group.

352
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 2: And they always loved me against the World. Oh yeah,

353
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 2: they love playing that that thing. They love closing the door.

354
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 2: I mean, hey, guys, everybody thinks the.

355
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 1: Juggles suck y one hundred percent. You know what I'm

356
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 1: looking at. Look just I'm now looking at some of

357
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: these names. So if we're gonna go with Pittsburgh, build

358
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: a bully right, Derek Harmon, big physical defensive tackle, Ya Black,

359
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 1: the DT who's like three hundred and forty five pounds

360
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 1: out of Iowa. Massive Jack Sawyer. We would literally describe

361
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 1: Jack Sawyer as a Burbeck up on the edge. Even

362
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 1: going and getting Carson Brunner, you know his dad's there

363
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh. Uh in the seventh round, tough linebacker from Washington,

364
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 1: Like they've kind of they kind of went after those

365
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 1: even you know, Caleb Johnson, big fast, physical back, I

366
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 1: think there's definitely you can see a theme that they've

367
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: gone for here, both in free agency, the draft, and

368
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:09,920
Speaker 1: in this trade.

369
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, going back and forth. And so this brings me

370
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 3: to the point because there were a lot of people

371
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 3: that were surprised Omar Kahn signs of a three year extension.

372
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 3: Right they have Mike Tomlin on their things. So for

373
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 3: all of the people that are saying, like, oh, the

374
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 3: steels on the high seat or whatever, to me, I

375
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 3: think they've doubled down and there's a belief in the

376
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 3: thing that our process and what we're doing is kind

377
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:33,120
Speaker 3: of how we want to make sure that our team

378
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,400
Speaker 3: is there. So that's why I feel like they're emboldened

379
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:39,199
Speaker 3: by the fact that they're going to get back to

380
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 3: playing bully ball, to being that team that is very

381
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,679
Speaker 3: edgy you don't really want to deal with. And I

382
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,919
Speaker 3: can say this personally, and it's funny because I was

383
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 3: playing for the Green Bay package at the time.

384
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:50,880
Speaker 2: There used to be a.

385
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:54,719
Speaker 3: Thing when you played the Pittsburgh Steelers that amen is

386
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 3: Steelers weak and everyone knew when you just uttered that,

387
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 3: you knew what kind of game you were in for.

388
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 3: It appears that the Pittsburgh still is a trying to

389
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 3: make sure that they bring that brand a ball back

390
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 3: to Pittsburgh.

391
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I I get it. And to me, there's

392
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 1: there's something to be said for no such thing as

393
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 1: right vision or wrong vision. It's either you have a

394
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: vision or you don't have a vision. There's a lot

395
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 1: of different ways to get to the finish line. But

396
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,680
Speaker 1: I think if you look at teams that are successful

397
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 1: versus those that aren't, usually it's just they have a

398
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: clear cut image of who they are and they build

399
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 1: their team accordingly. And I feel like whether or not

400
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 1: this results in the Steelers, you know, you know, making

401
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 1: some deep, deep playoff run, I feel like they kind

402
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,680
Speaker 1: of are who they are, Like they know what they're about,

403
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:41,640
Speaker 1: and they've kind of they've kind of gotten back to.

404
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:45,160
Speaker 3: That they are. They know who they are, They understand

405
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 3: their brand and what I love about them, right or wrong.

406
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:53,680
Speaker 3: They don't dB eight from their beliefs. They're very convicted

407
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 3: in their process. They're very convicted in the stability. They're

408
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 3: just weighed by staying with coaches and general managers over

409
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 3: an extent the period, and they believe that their brand

410
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,159
Speaker 3: ultimately leaves to success. So I hass off to them.

411
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 3: We always talk about conviction in the scouting world. The

412
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh still isn't. What they're doing to me this offseason

413
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 3: shows they're convicted in terms of their approach and their process.

414
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 1: One of the little conversations we need to have going

415
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 1: forward on a future pod is our favorite one on

416
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: ones we're looking forward to in training camp. I mean

417
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 1: Dkay and Jaylen Ramsey going against It's got to be

418
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 1: as you mentioned some history there that that's got to

419
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 1: be up near the top of the list of one

420
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 1: on ones you'd be looking forward to watching.

421
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 3: You know how crazy that's gonna be, Like how competitive they.

422
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 1: Big play slaves not afraid to get in there either.

423
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 1: Like that's gonna be. That's gonna be fun.

424
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:44,639
Speaker 3: Now think about that. Also, think about we always talk

425
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 3: about the zoo keeper, the guy that barn and Bailey circus,

426
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:53,400
Speaker 3: and you know how you gets the circus going. He's

427
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:56,119
Speaker 3: not a better person to poking the bear and getting

428
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,400
Speaker 3: stoken the flame than Mike Tomlin. So that one on

429
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:03,439
Speaker 3: one period win as DK taking on Jalen and some

430
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 3: of these other things, and then you got the past

431
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 3: rush one on ones and all that.

432
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 1: By the way, the guy throwing the football. Oh yeah, look,

433
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,159
Speaker 1: I think there'll be some eyeballs on that, on that

434
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: at all.

435
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 3: Poke the bear a little bit, talk about him. Wait

436
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 3: one years old, they say you don't have it anymore.

437
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 3: All of the motivational stuff that you want to have

438
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,679
Speaker 3: DJ is made for TV. A little hard knocks behind

439
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 3: the scenes, like that'd be real good, real good in

440
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:31,199
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh if they were able to get in.

441
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: He did access this year, no question. All right. That

442
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 1: take quick pause. We come back one hand on some

443
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 1: college stuff right after this, all right, because that time

444
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 1: of year, I've been knocking out some college guys and uh,

445
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 1: you know, I think we talked about Drew Aller earlier

446
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 1: from Penn State and watched him to you know, summarize

447
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,880
Speaker 1: that the goods good, the bad's bad, Like there's kind

448
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:57,919
Speaker 1: of some high highs and low lows there. Want to

449
00:20:57,920 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 1: see him level out and be a little more consistent,

450
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,120
Speaker 1: come up this next year on a Penn State team

451
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 1: that you know, his positioned to go after a national championship.

452
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 1: I mentioned he kind of reminded me of Flacco just

453
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 1: in terms of the arm strength and similar type. Athletes

454
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 1: need to see their receivers get a little bit better too.

455
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 1: They went after that in the portal, so that was alur.

456
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 1: Then I go from Aler to Nussmeyer. Nuss Meyer, you know,

457
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,400
Speaker 1: son of a coach there at LSU waited his turn,

458
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:26,199
Speaker 1: very patient. Not a big guy. Uh six five two

459
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 1: oh four so under six' one, under two hundred and

460
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 1: five pounds. Kind of gave me like in that family

461
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 1: of quarterbacks, like the Andy Dalton, like Perdy Romo, you know,

462
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 1: style of quarterback. So we had I think we'd discussed

463
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 1: him a little bit interesting player. The two that I've

464
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 1: done since then the club Nick kde Clubnick from Clemson.

465
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 1: He is six oh one four so six one and

466
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 1: a half two hundred and four pounds. Uh. I talked

467
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,360
Speaker 1: to Rhett. Rhett was at the Manning camp and Clubnick

468
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 1: was there. Reht's gonna join us on the next episode

469
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 1: later this week to go over all the quarterback stuff

470
00:21:57,840 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 1: that he uh that was able to collect there from

471
00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 1: the mannicamp as he does each and every year. He

472
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 1: thought Clubnik looked like he put on some weight, so this,

473
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 1: you know, good weight. This is in the spring. He

474
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 1: was two four so maybe he's a little bit bigger now.

475
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,919
Speaker 1: But doing him watching Clemson. Clemson's got a lot of

476
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 1: good players. Uh, it's good. It's a it's a good

477
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 1: football team. I think they're gonna be really good this year,

478
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 1: especially because I've heard a lot of good things about

479
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,160
Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball. Haven't studied those guys yet,

480
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 1: but watching Clubnick, but I don't know. I just didn't

481
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 1: see a lot of horsepower, like a lot of big

482
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:33,199
Speaker 1: time velocity there. I thought he was somebody that you know,

483
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 1: he's quick, he's got quick feet. He's a good athlete.

484
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,400
Speaker 1: You see him run the pit game. He has a

485
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 1: fifty yard run, touchdown run. He kind of win the

486
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 1: game late in that ball game. He can buy time.

487
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 1: He has a lot of tight window throws, which I'd

488
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 1: never thought about this before until going through this exercise

489
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 1: with him. Is I'm watching it and I questioned his

490
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,879
Speaker 1: arm strength. I have issues with whether he's going to

491
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 1: be able to fit balls in tight windows at the

492
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 1: next level. And it's the first time I've ever thought

493
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,880
Speaker 1: of the stat because now with PFF Ultimate and all that,

494
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 1: they keep these stats. So he's got a high percentage,

495
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 1: he's got good numbers on tight window throws. But I

496
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 1: thought about there's two different types of tight window throws.

497
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 1: There's a tight window that someone with a big arm

498
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 1: can squeeze the ball into a tight window. Then there's

499
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 1: larger windows that when the ball has a little lacks

500
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:25,440
Speaker 1: of little life to it, as the ball gets there,

501
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: those larger windows shrink. So technically you're talking about two

502
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 1: tight window throws. They're not the same. I've never really

503
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 1: thought about separating that stat and not just taking it

504
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:36,400
Speaker 1: at face value.

505
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:39,159
Speaker 3: Well, JJ, we always used to talk in the scouting

506
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:42,120
Speaker 3: business about throwing a guy open, and part of throwing

507
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 3: a guy open is really being able to fit the ball,

508
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 3: as you would say throwing it in the mailbox. Fitting

509
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,439
Speaker 3: it in the mailbox is such a tight window that

510
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 3: you can fit it in there, and the guy is

511
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 3: not open separation wise, but he's open because the ball

512
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:59,119
Speaker 3: placement is so ideal. You almost have to have that

513
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 3: as a ski. In today's game, the defenders are so fast,

514
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 3: the coverage is so sticky, and as more teams in

515
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:11,119
Speaker 3: the NFL in particular, are transitioning to zone vision and

516
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 3: break based things, you got to be able to beat

517
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 3: them with the ball because the defenders are playing your

518
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,640
Speaker 3: eyes and they're breaking or even throwing, so your ball

519
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,400
Speaker 3: has to have some RPMs to be able to get

520
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 3: into those lanes. And so when we talk about Kade

521
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 3: and some of the other quarterbacks, I do believe in

522
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 3: a year where we're projecting kind of like a number

523
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 3: of quarterbacks entering with first round talent potential DJ the

524
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:43,640
Speaker 3: physical tools, they're going to be the separating factor between

525
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 3: some of the guys at the top of the board

526
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 3: who has those prototypical traits that you check off the

527
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,399
Speaker 3: box physically that they must have to be successful in

528
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,919
Speaker 3: the league when we're comparing them to the guys that

529
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 3: you know you must beat to be able to win

530
00:24:59,000 --> 00:24:59,719
Speaker 3: the championship.

531
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it's it's absolutely the truth. And I'm just

532
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 1: curious to see this get Has he gotten physically stronger.

533
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 1: We've seen guy's arm strength get stronger. We've talked about it,

534
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 1: even with the rock perty who we mentioned a little

535
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,640
Speaker 1: bit earlier, how his arm got stronger. So just keeping

536
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:15,400
Speaker 1: an eye on that. He's got some other issues where

537
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 1: he'll get some tip balls, just needs to do a

538
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 1: better job trying to find lanes. But he throws over

539
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 1: He's got really nice touch over the top. He can

540
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,440
Speaker 1: buy some time a lot of fade balls, both from

541
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 1: the slot in on the outside. Again, Clemson's got a

542
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 1: good team. Excited to see them this year. They bookend

543
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:33,719
Speaker 1: their season. I think they open with LSU and then

544
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 1: they finish up as they always do with South Carolina.

545
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 1: So two big SEC opponents there to kind of sandwich

546
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 1: their season.

547
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,159
Speaker 3: And the only thing to think about Kage is he

548
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 3: now has an opportunity to go against someone who could

549
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 3: be competing with when it comes to the draft. You

550
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:51,360
Speaker 3: think about him playing but Leonora Sellers.

551
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 1: That gets me to my point. So I've watched in

552
00:25:55,280 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 1: order Aler nuss Meyer Klubnik will have to do. I'm

553
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 1: gonna watch all artist stuff next week, so that'll be

554
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 1: that'll come out next week. I watched Leonora Sellers. He

555
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 1: was fourth in line for me to watch, so I

556
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:09,880
Speaker 1: watched him. Now this post has not come up yet.

557
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 1: It'll be coming out on NFL dot Com, I believe

558
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 1: in a couple of days. So I still have to

559
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 1: write it up. But I'll give you a quick spoiler

560
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 1: alert on that one buck. One of these is not

561
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 1: like the others. Holy moly, Like I was fifteen plays

562
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 1: in on the Norse Sellers and I was like, okay,

563
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 1: that's I mean, I know we're not supposed to talk

564
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,879
Speaker 1: about how high these guys can go, but this is

565
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:39,360
Speaker 1: he's he's the one. He's a one suit player. If

566
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 1: you've listened to the show over the years, for those

567
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 1: that might be interested in attending the draft, yeah, hey

568
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:48,640
Speaker 1: this is yeah, I need a backup suit.

569
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,680
Speaker 3: He's a carry on guy. Yeah, he's no whatever. Like, hey,

570
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 3: you're not gonna be here for long. This is a

571
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,159
Speaker 3: one day trip, right and if we could tell you

572
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 3: to take a double bag, this is gonna be a

573
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:00,919
Speaker 3: quick one in and out.

574
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 1: The guys can always get better or worse, and we've

575
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:05,440
Speaker 1: seen guys, but I'm just telling you, like, if you

576
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 1: want to talk about baseline toolkits, like Buck, I don't

577
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 1: know if this guy can build the house, but he's

578
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,199
Speaker 1: got every tool in his bag and on his on

579
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 1: his car to be able to build you one nice

580
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,439
Speaker 1: house because the tools are all there. And this is

581
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,400
Speaker 1: someone who is big. He's listed six three two forty.

582
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:26,639
Speaker 1: I don't have official measurements on him. He looks big.

583
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 1: I was kind of shocked, just you know, I thought, Okay,

584
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:32,159
Speaker 1: this is gonna be kind of a raw athlete. I

585
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 1: was talking to his director of player personnel with the

586
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 1: playoff team of the day and he was like, you

587
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 1: think that, uh, you know, Anthony Richardson's struggles will scare

588
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:43,879
Speaker 1: teams off. I'm like, nah, I don't think they're gonnaike

589
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,920
Speaker 1: at all I got. This guy has played all, He's

590
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 1: played more football. He's a quarterback like he's you watch him.

591
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 1: His feet and his eyes are connected like some of

592
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 1: the quarterback he things you look for somebody's like, oh,

593
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 1: as an athlete, it's kind of loosey, goosey. This guy's

594
00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 1: pretty buttoned up. Now. It made me happy because Dal

595
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:02,439
Speaker 1: Logins had coached him as now the head coach at

596
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 1: app State.

597
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:05,680
Speaker 3: Talk to about him.

598
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 1: Yes, he's got NFL pedigree, NFL law a law, a

599
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 1: lot of NFL experience with Dal Logins. So he's been

600
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 1: coached really well. Coach Beemer's done a nice job. They're

601
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: kind of overseeing this whole thing. But this kid, Buck,

602
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 1: he's he's got a nice tight release, it's compact, the

603
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,120
Speaker 1: ball is spinning. I'd love to see him throw live

604
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 1: and we'll ask read about him because I think he

605
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 1: was at man in camp too. But he can spin it.

606
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:31,719
Speaker 1: He's got a nice clock about him. Like, again, that's

607
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:34,920
Speaker 1: a difference with Anthony Richardson some of the instinctual stuff.

608
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 1: This guy's way more instinctual with how he sees it

609
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 1: and what he does. And then oh, by the way,

610
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 1: you want to run quarterback power and do all that stuff.

611
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 1: Sure like the comp And I'll go through some other

612
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 1: names and I'm gonna watch a little bit more on

613
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 1: him before I officially write this, But I played against

614
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:52,239
Speaker 1: Dante Culpepper in college and he reminded me of a

615
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 1: faster Dante Culpeper. That's a pretty lofty praise.

616
00:28:56,640 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 3: And I think people have to understand the pre injury

617
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 3: he could roll was a monster, and so that's really

618
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 3: hefty praise on a young player like Sellers. But I

619
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 3: will say this, when we're evaluating, particularly in today's game,

620
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:17,719
Speaker 3: and we're using the muses of the elite players at

621
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 3: the position, the elite players have plus tools and some capacity,

622
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 3: they have a superpower that is ridiculous that you have

623
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 3: to put that out there, whether it's Pat Mahomes, Josh Allen,

624
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson, like, they have a legitimate superpower that separates

625
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 3: them from others.

626
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 2: When you look at.

627
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 3: Sellers, he has tools that you can see growing into

628
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 3: the superpower range, and his physicality and toughness as a runner,

629
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 3: his presence and playmaking ability inside and outside of the pocket.

630
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 3: He just has the it thing. And when you talk

631
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 3: to young people about scouting and you try to tell

632
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 3: them like, look, man, it shouldn't be that hard. This

633
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 3: should be a wild factor that you feel right away,

634
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 3: you said within fifteen plays of watching him, you were like, oh, yeah,

635
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 3: I know he's in that day one category. I don't

636
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 3: know where, but just watching I feel he has that

637
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 3: wow factor. I don't have to talk myself into it.

638
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 3: That's how it should be. So he's starting at a

639
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 3: point this year where your eyeballs are on him, like,

640
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 3: man if he makes a couple of improvements here, we're

641
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 3: talking about someone that an elite prospect and a quarterback

642
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 3: class that should be loaded with talented players.

643
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it's up to him to kind of

644
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 1: raise the floor. The ceiling is as high as you're

645
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 1: going to get, man Like. He has got an incredibly

646
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 1: high ceiling, so now just can get more consistent. But

647
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, man like, just from what I've seen already,

648
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:53,479
Speaker 1: the you know, this is a quarterback. This is a

649
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 1: quarterback with the freaky you know, explosiveness, you know, size, athleticism,

650
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 1: all that stuff. And oh, by the way, when I

651
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 1: text Dow about him and I'm down, probably you know,

652
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 1: not to be on the record, but it was I

653
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 1: don't see what the big deal is. I was like, hey,

654
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 1: tell me just I just watched Sellers, Like, holy crap,

655
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 1: Like he is light years better than all these other

656
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 1: guys that I've been watching. And and he wrote back

657
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 1: and said he is incredibly smart and he loves football.

658
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 1: And if you want to talk about the quarterback the

659
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 1: stuff that you care about, Buck, I think that might

660
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 1: be number one and number two on the list.

661
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 3: Look, man, DJ, and we've seen it more and more.

662
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 3: We talked about people having categories do you love it?

663
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 3: Like we're at the point now where you have to

664
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 3: have the love it guys with nil and all the

665
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 3: other stuff.

666
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 1: Like there was an article out that said he turned

667
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 1: out like eight million bucks in the portal, which I

668
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 1: believe it would have been money well spent if somebody

669
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 1: could have got him.

670
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, So being able to distinguish who loves it and

671
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 3: who likes it because of all the stuff around, Man,

672
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 3: you want to work the worker bees man. You want

673
00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 3: the guys that love all the parts of the process,

674
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 3: that is the stuff that really really matters.

675
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, just fun this time of year, man, because it's

676
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 1: like new packages that you're opening up.

677
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 3: Now.

678
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 1: You peak at people when you're doing other players, but

679
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 1: until you sit down and study and you don't really know.

680
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 1: And again I've seen you know, there's been examples of

681
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 1: guys you get super fired up about and then going

682
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 1: to there last year, like, man, what happened? So look,

683
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 1: you still got to go out there and play. I

684
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 1: was excited. It was kind of fun. It's a little

685
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 1: pick me up, a little coffee without the coffee when

686
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:25,959
Speaker 1: you're watching somebody like that.

687
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 2: Look, coffee without the coffee. I like it.

688
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 1: How are we feeling, by the way, as we sit here,

689
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 1: what do we we're July eighth with the tar heels.

690
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 1: What are we thinking with the group this year?

691
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 3: Interesting? Having gone back there a few weeks ago official

692
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 3: visit weekend, it was interesting sitting down talking to Coach Belichick,

693
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 3: all the people in the front office. They're optimistic about

694
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 3: the turnover and the team that they have, but no

695
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 3: one knows like I will say that they are noticeably

696
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 3: different than the team that I saw in April. They're

697
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 3: much bigger, trying to follow behind the model of building

698
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 3: an SEC slash Big ten team because ultimately that's what

699
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 3: you're gonna have to get through. I don't know, man,

700
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 3: I think through coaching and manipulation, I think you're talking

701
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 3: about eight is the magic number of wins? And then

702
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 3: maybe they surprised. But look, I think there's some optimism,

703
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 3: some quiet optimism that they can be much better than

704
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 3: people think.

705
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 1: What do we got here?

706
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 3: I mean the schedule, the schedule, schedule, the schedule might

707
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 3: do them some favors. I mean, they have some games

708
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 3: that you would like to think, Uh, they can still

709
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 3: a couple. I know they played TCU very early in

710
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 3: the season.

711
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 1: I got hold it up right here, here we go.

712
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 1: We're gonna kick it off with TCU, then Charlotte, then Richmond,

713
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 1: then UCF, which has got a full makeover. You know,

714
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 1: as they you Buck, you could easily be one.

715
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 2: I don't know, man, Like there's some tough games.

716
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 1: You could be four and oh. I don't know with

717
00:33:57,680 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 1: with I mean, I bet you this. If you're four

718
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 1: four oh and you're playing Clemson October fourth, I don't

719
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 1: know what other college football games are on October fourth,

720
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 1: but I would think you might be, Uh, that might

721
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:12,239
Speaker 1: be a game day type game, and I'm gonna pull it.

722
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 1: I'm pulling it up right now here, Hold up, I

723
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 1: want to see the other games October fourth. Let me

724
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:18,840
Speaker 1: just see who you're up against for game day for

725
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:23,279
Speaker 1: that for that time. Oh, Texas, Florida could give you

726
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:27,800
Speaker 1: some could give you some fight there. Wisconsin Michigan is

727
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:29,719
Speaker 1: a good one, but we're always there.

728
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 2: Were always at Michigan. We're always there.

729
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 3: Like it might not.

730
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:35,799
Speaker 1: That was fun Clemson North Oh, you got Miami Florida State,

731
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:37,759
Speaker 1: but that just is not what it used to be.

732
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 1: Mm hmm, Buck, I I think I might call my

733
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 1: shot there. As I'm looking at the rest of these games,

734
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:49,920
Speaker 1: nothing else is jumping out at me. I scrolling. Uh,

735
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 1: Kentucky Georgia is a good game. Uh, Buck, you're gonna

736
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 1: be That's it. I'll call my shot right there. I'm

737
00:34:58,000 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 1: gonna say the tar Hills are going to be four

738
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 1: and oh going up against the four and oh Clemson.

739
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:04,840
Speaker 1: Clemson might be number two in the country, maybe number

740
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:06,399
Speaker 1: three in the country at that point in time.

741
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 3: I'm thinking todition.

742
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:10,720
Speaker 1: Carolina Slay the Giant game day October fourth.

743
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 3: I've been conditioned. Can we just get better today? I'm

744
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:14,440
Speaker 3: just worried about it. I can't even think that for

745
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 3: an advanced I don't even know about the record. Like,

746
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:18,440
Speaker 3: we're just trying to get better. We can be competitive

747
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 3: versus TCUD. We just kind of see what it looks like.

748
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 1: Charlotte just smacks a taste out of your mouth.

749
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 3: We just got it. We just gotta be We just

750
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:26,760
Speaker 3: got to be competitive. I just wanted to be competitive.

751
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:28,280
Speaker 3: A good thing we got app stayed off the schedule.

752
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:29,400
Speaker 3: I just don't want to have to deal with that

753
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 3: anxiety and all that. Others hoping we're back. I'm hoping

754
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 3: we're back.

755
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:34,799
Speaker 1: I put in my request, by the way, so they've

756
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 1: got my I one of the things I love doing

757
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 1: during this time of years. There's no better workout gear

758
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,399
Speaker 1: for those that don't know, than team issued workout gear.

759
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 1: It's just better, better quality than the stuff you can

760
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:46,279
Speaker 1: buy at Dick's Sporting Goods or wherever else. So I

761

762
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 1: and have I need some new workout shorts.

763

00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:05,719
Speaker 1: so I got a lot of I got a lot

773
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 1: of Missouri stuff. I got my buddy Robinson at Georgia

774
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 1: that I'll yeah, he'll hook me up. I've got my

775
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 1: friends at Alabama will send me some Alabama stuff. But

776
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:16,319
Speaker 1: like some good workout shorts there, that's all you're looking

777
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:18,359
Speaker 1: for here? Is it gets a lot this time of year.

778
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:21,239
Speaker 3: Like I know, Like, how's a golf game? I know

779
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:22,240
Speaker 3: we were into it, lad.

780
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 1: Yesterday I played yesterday. I tell you what, man, what's

781
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 1: hard and frustrating about this thing is there's high highs,

782
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:34,520
Speaker 1: like some great shots just surrounded by some of the

783
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:37,400
Speaker 1: most miserable shots. And I keep thinking the longer that

784
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:42,239
Speaker 1: I play, I'm gonna start minimizing the bad shots. Not

785
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:45,760
Speaker 1: necessarily the case, but I have this sick sickness where

786
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:48,479
Speaker 1: when I'm in the round, I'm very I'm not gonna

787
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 1: throw the clubs like I'm not like that, but I

788
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 1: get frustrated, very frustrated, maybe some negative self talk, and

789
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:57,239
Speaker 1: then by the time the car pulls into the house,

790
00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:59,759
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, but that's six iron I hit, you

791
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:02,319
Speaker 1: know when we were two hundred out, Like that was

792
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:05,440
Speaker 1: just it's there somehow, it's just tucked in there. But

793
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, it is a feel versus real

794
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:11,319
Speaker 1: sport where you think one thing and then like you

795
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:13,320
Speaker 1: see video when you get video taken. Like I was

796
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 1: playing with my buddy. I just shank one and he

797
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:18,400
Speaker 1: had video me without me knowing it from behind and

798
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 1: he's like, look where you're lined up? What are you

799
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:24,319
Speaker 1: doing this way? You're lined up this way. I'm like,

800
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:27,440
Speaker 1: it doesn't feel like I'm lined up that way, but

801
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:29,200
Speaker 1: you saw the video. I'm like, I can't argue with

802
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 1: this video that might do on.

803
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:34,800
Speaker 3: I was saying, my but he's done in Jacksonville and

804
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:37,600
Speaker 3: I do and oh man, I hadn't played him forever.

805
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:39,319
Speaker 2: As I was able to hit it, I think I

806
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:41,239
Speaker 2: may have gone through the full box of balls.

807
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 3: But it's neither here nor there. But it was it

808
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:46,520
Speaker 3: was fun to play and DJ like I'm just in

809
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 3: this thing because to be good you got to dedicate

810
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:51,400
Speaker 3: the time. You got to like you really got to

811
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 3: focus on the press and even though the press is

812
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 3: not necessarily on the range, but around the putting green, right,

813
00:37:56,000 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 3: because if you can get good at chipping, I just

814
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:03,399
Speaker 3: don't have the discipline to do that yet. But it

815
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:06,839
Speaker 3: was point fun going out and when I see these

816
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:09,400
Speaker 3: guys playing different tracks, right because all my buddies play,

817
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 3: I got my buddy Dave. I I just played a

818
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:15,319

Speaker 1: I like going out to different I like you.

821
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:19,719

Speaker 3: move the sticks kind of like just kind of move

824
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:26,560

00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 3: like we can kind of make that happen. Singer, singer

829
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:37,239

Speaker 1: free swagging, a free round of golf.

833
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 2: Put it on YouTube in the background. You know what

834
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:51,720

836
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:58,200
Speaker 1: Driver is. But you know, here's the thing. When I

837
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:00,839
Speaker 1: watch professional golf and I see these guys that can't

838
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:02,759
Speaker 1: consistently keep it in the furry what the heck chance

839
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:04,480
Speaker 1: do I have? I mean, let's be honest.

840
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:06,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're just trying to just trying to hit it

841
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 3: right down.

842
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:09,000
Speaker 1: But then there's no worst feeling. This is the last

843
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:11,360
Speaker 1: golf thought of the day, the only the worst feeling

844
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:12,759
Speaker 1: for me. I don't know if it is for you.

845
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:15,879
Speaker 1: It's like when I try and do the responsible smart thing.

846
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna take the hybrid out. I'm not gonna

847
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:21,439
Speaker 1: hit driver. That's just let's just be smart. Never works ever,

848
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:24,640

849
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:24,839
Speaker 2: Man?

850
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:26,799
Speaker 1: Am I as just hero or zero this thing? If

851
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna if I'm gonna snap of hybrid, I might

852
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:30,920
Speaker 1: as well.

853
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 3: Just take trying to play the smart way and be

854
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:35,879
Speaker 3: a little conservative. What I'm gonna do A I'm looking,

855
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:38,600
Speaker 3: I'm taking my medicine. I put it in the woods.

00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 1: I chip it too long coming. I got to get up.

866
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:12,359
Speaker 1: That took a bogey. Took a bogey. But I'm like,

Speaker 1: we played with is unbelievable. He's a phenomenal, phenomenal golfer.

871
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 1: So he's, you know, he's like a stupid plus handicap,

872
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:32,279
Speaker 1: so he's we're on a driveable par four. It's it's

873
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:34,759
Speaker 1: uh gosh, I don't even remember what it was. It

874
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:36,800
Speaker 1: might have been like three. It was short. It was

875
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:40,360
Speaker 1: like three thirty maybe, but he he's got unbelievable power,

876
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:44,359
Speaker 1: so he he smashes it. Buck. He's five six feet

877
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:46,960
Speaker 1: drove the green five or six feet. He's going to

878
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,359
Speaker 1: tap in for eagle. Me and my buddy playing against

879
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:51,920
Speaker 1: him and his his friend, him and his brother. They

880
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:55,600
Speaker 1: both him and his brother both miss the five foot putt.

881
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:58,799
Speaker 1: So I proceeded to call him to Shaun Jackson for

882
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 1: the rest of the tournament because I was like, man,

883
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 1: you returned the punt to the one yard line. All

884
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:04,279
Speaker 1: you gotta do is hold on to it. You just

885
00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:12,400
Speaker 1: set it on the ground. You gotta score. So they're

886
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:14,880
Speaker 1: like field goals again. Huh is that what we're doing here?

887
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:17,560
Speaker 1: We're just settling for film.

888
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:21,359
Speaker 2: Golf thought, But I gotta I gotta ask you this.

889
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:28,279
Speaker 3: So our colleague, our buddy, Jane Slater posting pictures.

890
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:29,640
Speaker 1: I was at the game, she was at it.

891
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:31,360
Speaker 2: Did you did you come to tickets?

892
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 3: Because I saw she had access.

893
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:34,479
Speaker 1: I know you've missed a padre. Did you know she

894
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 1: she she's tight. She knows a j probably the GM

895
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:41,239
Speaker 1: from when he was in Texas. Yeah, okay, okay, because

896
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:43,839
Speaker 1: I found out we were on it C together at

897
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 1: the Cowboys camp last year and we were both texting

898
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:48,840
Speaker 1: him and she was I was like, what do you know?

899
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:52,400
Speaker 1: I just aj Probably I was like, I'm just communicating

900
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:54,080
Speaker 1: with him that she knows him. I know him, so anyway,

901
00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:55,840
Speaker 1: it's kind of a weird thing. So she posts this picture.

902
00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:57,839
Speaker 1: So then I sent a picture for where I was

903
00:41:57,880 --> 00:41:59,440
Speaker 1: like around first base. I'm like, what do you do

904
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:01,759
Speaker 1: you hear? She's like yeah. But it was kind of

905
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:03,440
Speaker 1: as it's they're sole you know, as the Potters do.

906
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:05,320
Speaker 1: We sell out every night, so it was very crowded

907
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:07,719
Speaker 1: and with my family, she's with her friends, so we

908
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 1: didn't get a chance to say hello or not.

909
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 2: But it looked like it looked like a fun time.

910
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:14,239
Speaker 2: Look like a fun time, not a.

911
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:17,480
Speaker 1: Big day game. I'm not a big day game guy. Yeah, no,

912
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:18,879
Speaker 1: full hot, a little hot.

913
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:24,520
Speaker 3: I mean the Dodgers are getting absolutely mollywop by the I.

914
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:28,000
Speaker 1: Mean they lost again. They got smoked. The Dodgers are

915
00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:31,440
Speaker 1: interesting case because they they're the best team in baseball,

916
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 1: I mean quite honestly, and they've got all these injuries,

917
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:36,359
Speaker 1: but they just punt on games. I'm curious to see

918
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 1: the strategy of how this pays off because they just

919
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:41,320
Speaker 1: Dave Robertson just be like, hey, we're gonna lose this game.

920
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:43,879
Speaker 1: They've lost that I think They've lost five games by

921
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:46,400
Speaker 1: ten runs this year for a team that's like the

922
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:48,400
Speaker 1: best team in baseball, but like once they sees it,

923
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 1: it's going south. We aren't playing anybody. Get everybody out,

924
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 1: put our scrub pitchers in there, get our starters out

925
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:53,520
Speaker 1: of the game.

926
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:56,160
Speaker 2: Like we're about one over one hundreds.

927
00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:59,960
Speaker 3: I mean, it's almost like iceed to see Steve Kurt

928
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:02,399
Speaker 3: this with the Warriors, like, hey, we're gonna play.

929
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give you the first two minutes of the fourth.

930
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:05,120
Speaker 2: It's just not going our way.

931
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:10,960
Speaker 3: Well wout, Yeah, they literally just you don't get bonus points.

932
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:14,120
Speaker 1: But I mean, like part of me is like does

933
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:16,440
Speaker 1: that and I maybe you're just out talent people, but

934
00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:18,759
Speaker 1: like I would think, like I think it's from a

935
00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:22,600
Speaker 1: football standpoint, there's that that that kind of grit that

936
00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 1: you're kind of building of, like hey we're down, we're

937
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:26,560
Speaker 1: not out. We're gonna fight back, Like even if we

938
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:28,759
Speaker 1: come back and we lose six to five, like we're

939
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:32,200
Speaker 1: kind of building up this like never quit gritty culture.

940
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:33,560
Speaker 1: Maybe baseball just not like that.

941
00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:35,960
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know, but that is the thing, like, hey,

942
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:37,759
Speaker 2: let's finish the game. Finish it off the right way.

943
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:39,640
Speaker 2: Let's let's play the right.

944
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:42,279
Speaker 1: Way to respect the game. The game will respect you.

945
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:45,319
Speaker 1: Maybe that's just it's twenty twenty five and that's not

946
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:46,240
Speaker 1: the way it's done anymore.

947
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:48,680
Speaker 3: I would tell you just this story because it's funny

948
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:50,800
Speaker 3: going back to college. So when I was in college,

949
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:51,280
Speaker 3: I took.

950
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 2: A basketball class and it was done by assistant coach

951
00:43:57,640 --> 00:43:58,200
Speaker 2: Randy Will.

952
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:00,480
Speaker 3: He would always talk about Dean Smith was say like,

953
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 3: it's really important when you're playing these games the way

954
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 3: that we finish, Like if you're up by twenty, you

955
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:07,520
Speaker 3: want to finish the game winning by twenty five. You

956
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:09,560
Speaker 3: don't want to hold on and win by ten because

957
00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:12,239
Speaker 3: the next time you play the team, they could say like, man,

958
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:13,880
Speaker 3: if we just had a little more time, we can

959
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:15,920
Speaker 3: beat it. Were going to crush him, and the Dodgers

960
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:19,560
Speaker 3: being like, yeah, we don't subscribe to it, like you beat.

961
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:21,720
Speaker 2: Us the day, but it has no carryover effect.

962
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:23,400
Speaker 3: Oh what's going to happen?

963
00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:27,719
Speaker 1: But I look at just odd. It's just weird. Like

964
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 1: I look at it from a positive standpoint, Like the

965
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:32,399
Speaker 1: Potters are kind of a win one, lose one. This

966
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:35,120
Speaker 1: is what they've been they have. They'll do some stuff

967
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:36,719
Speaker 1: with the deadline, they have no catcher, they have no

968
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:39,040
Speaker 1: left fielder, like they've got holes in their lineup, and

969
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:41,560
Speaker 1: then like Tattis and Merrill, their stars are not they're

970
00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:43,759
Speaker 1: off right now. But it's baseball, so you know, all

971
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:46,480
Speaker 1: these guys kind of go through these things. But I

972
00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:49,200
Speaker 1: will say this, like the with the manager there with

973
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:52,919
Speaker 1: Mike Shult, like if they're down five to one, they

974
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 1: always somehow they'll be in the ninth inning, they'll have

975
00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:57,080
Speaker 1: the tying run come to the plate. Now, they they

976
00:44:57,160 --> 00:44:59,080
Speaker 1: might not climb the mountain, and they haven't done it

977
00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:01,480
Speaker 1: as much this year, but I almost am like that's

978
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:03,799
Speaker 1: probably a good sign for them long term that like

979
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:06,840
Speaker 1: they're kind of always giving themselves a chance, like that's

980
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:08,279
Speaker 1: that's kind of all you can do, and then the

981
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:09,880
Speaker 1: ball is gonna fall or it's not gonna fall, but

982
00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:12,200
Speaker 1: you've got to give yourself a chance. Whereas a Dodgers

983
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:14,600
Speaker 1: just like, screw it, man, we don't care about this game.

984
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:16,800
Speaker 1: We're twenty games over five hundred. Let's us get tomorrow.

985
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:18,239
Speaker 2: Yeah it is.

986
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:20,520
Speaker 3: It is a funny and fascinating thing to watch how

987
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:25,719
Speaker 3: people approach those blowout games like we just like whatever.

988
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:27,440
Speaker 1: I think it's because of I think it's because we

989
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:30,239
Speaker 1: are in a sport with such a few games, Like

990
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:33,319
Speaker 1: in the NFL, you can't give away a game. There's

991
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:35,520
Speaker 1: seventeen of them. You can't afford to give those away.

992
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:38,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, everything matters, like when you have one hundred and

993
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:38,560
Speaker 3: sixty two.

994
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:43,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's different. Hey, it's worked for him, all right,

995
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:46,040
Speaker 1: that's gonna do it for us. Today we covered football, golf,

996
00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:48,480
Speaker 1: and baseball. That's a typical July episode of.

997
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:52,240
Speaker 2: We're in season.

998
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:56,719
Speaker 1: Talk about barbecue now. Actually we have coming up the quarterbacks.

999
00:45:57,040 --> 00:45:58,960
Speaker 1: We'll do that next time. We appreciate you guys, We'll

1000
00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:00,720
Speaker 1: see you next time. Right here, move the sticks.
