1 00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:06,200 Speaker 1: And now move the sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks. 2 00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:09,200 Speaker 1: What's up, everybody? Welcome to move the sticks, DJ, Bucky 3 00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:11,879 Speaker 1: back with you and Buck. We made it man, We've 4 00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:14,600 Speaker 1: got NFL football this evening. How are you doing? Look 5 00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:18,000 Speaker 1: good man? Really excited about seeing the NFL kick off 6 00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:21,440 Speaker 1: all obviously all the ceremonies and circumstance, pomp and circumstances 7 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,200 Speaker 1: that goes along with the NFL season kicking off the 8 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,560 Speaker 1: tam Bay Buccaneers taking on the Dallas Cowboys. Uh, the 9 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:29,760 Speaker 1: Buccaneers get a chance to unveil the banner. We get 10 00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:31,520 Speaker 1: a chance to see a team that brings back twenty 11 00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:35,400 Speaker 1: two returning starters, which is unheard of in today's salary 12 00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:37,760 Speaker 1: cap era. And so there's a lot of excitement, a 13 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,400 Speaker 1: lot of hype, and the great thing about football as 14 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:42,559 Speaker 1: we get to kick it off and see what's real. Yeah, 15 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,559 Speaker 1: I'm excited about that. We previewed this game the other day. Um, 16 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 1: so we won't do that today. What we are going 17 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:49,120 Speaker 1: to do is we'll do our predictions. We're gonna do 18 00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 1: it in our own fashion is we like to do. 19 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,680 Speaker 1: We're we're draft obsessed, so we'll do it in a 20 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 1: draft away. We're gonna end up drafting where every other 21 00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 1: one and draft our m v P picks uh, Defensive 22 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 1: Player of the Year picks. Uh. We can do Coach 23 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 1: of the Year as well, Why why not? We can 24 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:04,840 Speaker 1: do Coach of the Year, and we'll do Rookie of 25 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 1: the Year. So we'll do some drafting. UM. So that'll 26 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 1: take up the bulk of today's show. But before we 27 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,759 Speaker 1: do that, I want to get to this conversation here 28 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 1: real quick. But because I thought it was fascinating with 29 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 1: with the beginning of the NFL season and with an 30 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,120 Speaker 1: eye towards next year's draft, as we're always doing here 31 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,480 Speaker 1: on the show, with our personnel background, everything kind of 32 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,679 Speaker 1: pointing towards that. So we did some homework on this. 33 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 1: Had a GM that brought this topic up and I 34 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,400 Speaker 1: thought it was interesting, so we did our homework. He thought, Man, 35 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:34,679 Speaker 1: this seems like a really low number of college free 36 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 1: agents that made rosters this year compared to previous years. 37 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,760 Speaker 1: So this year there's twenty six, So only twenty six 38 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,039 Speaker 1: rookie free agents made fifty three man rosters this year 39 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,559 Speaker 1: across the leg So when you look at that historically, 40 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 1: we we went and pulled the numbers and our buddy 41 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,560 Speaker 1: Bill Smith did some digging for us. That is the 42 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 1: fewest number of rookie free agents on opening day rosters 43 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 1: since n well, I mean one, while their numbers ridiculously low. 44 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,800 Speaker 1: Here's what I think may have played into it. Um 45 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 1: the COVID situation may have played into it in terms 46 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 1: of teams being more I guess lenient or gracious with 47 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 1: those draft picks that were taken in and maybe didn't play. 48 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 1: And so maybe they were a little more aware that 49 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 1: we need to give some guys more time to the development, 50 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 1: so we can't make the heart and fast no right now, 51 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 1: and so with our draftees, will make sure we give 52 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 1: them all of the time to make the team even 53 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,959 Speaker 1: into the season. And then with some of the other guys, 54 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,640 Speaker 1: the undrafted free agents, maybe it was a situation that 55 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 1: when they draft when when they signed them, they signed 56 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 1: them with the sole intention of putting them on the 57 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 1: practice squad at the end of the term, just because 58 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,679 Speaker 1: of um trying to make sure you stock called it. 59 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,640 Speaker 1: Because that's the only reason I can see why teams 60 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 1: would bypass the opportunity to have quote uncot cheap labor 61 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 1: in a situation where everyone is looking to save a 62 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 1: few coins just to make the salary cap fit. So 63 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,639 Speaker 1: so there's different theories on this. The theory I'm I'm 64 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,359 Speaker 1: working on is we had the free year for college, 65 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 1: so we have these super seniors littered all over the 66 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 1: National Football League. Those were going to be college free agents. 67 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 1: The reason why they went back to schools because they 68 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,359 Speaker 1: weren't gonna get drafted, but they were quality players. And 69 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 1: we're seeing it across the college football landscape right now. 70 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 1: We're seeing a lot of these super seniors make plays. 71 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 1: They're actually good players. So last year's draft pool was 72 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 1: the thinnest in recent memory. Like you talk to teams 73 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 1: and they got to the six and seventh round, like 74 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 1: we're fleshed out of names, like we don't have anybody left, 75 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 1: you know, nobody left. They all went back to school. 76 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 1: App states got four senior receivers, the super senior receivers 77 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 1: six year guys. Um. So those guys, you know, one 78 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 1: or two of those guys are gonna make a team 79 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: next year. So what it led me to believe is 80 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 1: not only is it interesting that we don't have many 81 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,839 Speaker 1: this year, what it points to me is that next 82 00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 1: year's draft could be the deepest draft we've seen in 83 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 1: quite some time because it's an extra class of players 84 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 1: that are gonna be in the draft. So, in other words, 85 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 1: if you're picking in the six and seventh round in 86 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: years past, where it's like, oh you trade a six, 87 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: you trade a seven for this, that and the other, 88 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: like those could be like good players and you're gonna 89 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 1: get undrafted free agents next year it's gonna make up 90 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,159 Speaker 1: for this number. So like the previous years, let for 91 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: contextre forty, that makes then there were fifty six, fifty nine, 92 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 1: sixty three, seventy. There was only twenty six this year. 93 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 1: So those players don't they didn't. They don't like fall 94 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 1: off the face of the earth. They still exist. They 95 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 1: just they weren't in this group. No, So that's a 96 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,279 Speaker 1: good point that you make about the pool, the pool 97 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: being thinned out. I forgot to even think about the 98 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:46,280 Speaker 1: super seniors and those guys coming back, because it does change, uh, 99 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 1: the equation. It changes the equation in terms of availability, 100 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 1: like what you have available, who you're picking from, who 101 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:57,719 Speaker 1: you signed to compete in training camp. Uh, we've always 102 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 1: done it where when you signed an undrafted free agent, 103 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:04,839 Speaker 1: you're looking for redeemable qualities, meaning height, weight, speed. Maybe 104 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 1: it's production but the other stuff is off. Maybe it's 105 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,719 Speaker 1: a situation where from an intangible or character standpoint, there's 106 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,040 Speaker 1: an issue that prevented him from being a draftable player. 107 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 1: But typically they had those qualities that you're like, hey, 108 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,839 Speaker 1: if they're going to make the team, they're going to 109 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: make the team because of these traits. This year, because 110 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 1: the pool was lighter, you saw fewer guys who had 111 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:31,279 Speaker 1: legitimate opportunities to make the game. And it may explain 112 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,719 Speaker 1: why some of these preseason games, particularly in the third 113 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 1: and fourth quarter, it got away from us and it 114 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,599 Speaker 1: was a little raggedy and it didn't really look like 115 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 1: professional football at certain levels because you had guys who 116 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: didn't necessarily have the trades that would typically be associated 117 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 1: with being an NFL player in a training camp. What 118 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 1: do you think about the thought process of it's easier 119 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 1: to hide guys now used to be with four preseason games, 120 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 1: you have a college free agent, he's like he's out 121 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 1: there in the third and fourth or in the you know, 122 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 1: first and fourth games playing so much that you can't 123 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,239 Speaker 1: hide him. You know, you can't not be like he's undrafted, 124 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,720 Speaker 1: we get in with the practice squad, no problem. But now, 125 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,160 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know, maybe there's there's a few 126 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 1: opportunities and you can you can more effectively hide some 127 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,839 Speaker 1: of these guys and you can get them practice squad. Yeah, 128 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,360 Speaker 1: I think teams are definitely taking the practice squad option 129 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:23,840 Speaker 1: to expanded practice squad rosters. Make it where you can 130 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: be up your practice squad where if you have six 131 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,920 Speaker 1: team roster spots, you can make UH four those kind 132 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 1: of we've talked about the revolving door. Every two weeks, man, 133 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,720 Speaker 1: we're just bringing guys in, we worked them out, we 134 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 1: give them a two week audition, then we're onto the next. 135 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 1: And I think there's some of that going. Also, the 136 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 1: UH increased cap in terms of the amount of veteran 137 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 1: players as you keep on the practice squad has also 138 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 1: changed the evaluation. There are a lot of little subtle 139 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 1: things that have happened in the team build an aspect 140 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,600 Speaker 1: that is kind of changed the way that you put 141 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,279 Speaker 1: it all together. But this undrafted free agent thing, that 142 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 1: is a very interesting deal because you saw on Twitter 143 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 1: where people put out the stats about more undrafted free 144 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 1: agents making rosters in those UH this year like it 145 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 1: was four D and fifteen, So not just this class, 146 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 1: like any class, just just in general. However, when you 147 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 1: break down that only twenty six of those guys are 148 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 1: from this class, there is a significant and notable drop off. 149 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 1: Because my contention was, look, we've always said Day three. 150 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 1: You could put Day three rounds four through seven and 151 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: the underraft to put them all in a bit of 152 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 1: bucking and draw line in the middle, and who's over 153 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 1: over under like you just don't know, because beauty is 154 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 1: in the eye of the beholder. But it is definitely 155 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 1: a changing evaluation process. Yeah. I do think though on 156 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 1: the map on some of that because and you might 157 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 1: have engaged with somebody on this, but I saw somewhere 158 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 1: on there. You know, when you compare the number of 159 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 1: underrafted players versus seventh round players, well, there's thirty two 160 00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 1: technically a year, and if we go by this, know 161 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: the previous years, so you have thirty two seventh round picks, Well, 162 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 1: think about the pool of undrafted players that, Yeah, it's 163 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 1: infinite when it comes to that. I got into it 164 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 1: with Jay Feeley because Jay Feely, that's what it was. 165 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 1: So you're always go in a fight somewhere on like 166 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: he brought up a point. I was just saying, Um, 167 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 1: the Raiders drafted a player into third round Tanner m 168 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 1: ten A Muse Tana Muse was released and never really played, 169 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 1: and he was expected to be a special team standout, 170 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:35,320 Speaker 1: And I was saying in rooms, we never take a seller. Uh. 171 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 1: Special teams should be a secondary consideration when you're talking 172 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,679 Speaker 1: about days one and two, you have to be able 173 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 1: to play a position because to get a jersey, even 174 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,679 Speaker 1: though you're a special team stand up, if someone gets hurt, 175 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 1: you have to play. So that player has to be 176 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 1: able to be a serviceable enough backup player that you 177 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 1: can give him a jersey and say that if we 178 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 1: get into Pench, he has to be the dime player, 179 00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 1: the backup. He has to get on the field and 180 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 1: he has to be able to play well enough for 181 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 1: us to get out of a game. Jay Philey contended, well, 182 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 1: if that's the case, Bill Belichick would have never found 183 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:11,199 Speaker 1: Matthew Slater in the fifth round. A big difference Round 184 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: three and five. There's a big as I said, I said, 185 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,200 Speaker 1: rounds four through seven or developmental players where special teams 186 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 1: is a thing, but the goal for Day three player 187 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 1: is not necessarily that this guy is going to be 188 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 1: our starter when we take him in rounds one, two, 189 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 1: and three, there's a path to get him on the 190 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,079 Speaker 1: field as I'm started. That's how they should be evaluated. 191 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 1: And so that was my back and forth. Look, man, 192 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 1: it is random, and it's a guessing game. When you 193 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 1: get someone in the fifth or sixth round that emerges 194 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 1: as a starter, that typically is not supposed to happen. 195 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 1: Those guys that come from those rounds, that emerging starters, 196 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 1: they should have been drafted earlier, or there's a character 197 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 1: forward medical issue that led them to go down. Like 198 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 1: typically that's how it goes. But it's not, Oh, I 199 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 1: want to take my Special Teams player. Doesn't it doesn't. 200 00:09:56,200 --> 00:10:00,080 Speaker 1: It doesn't happen like that. Uh gosh, buck, I just 201 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 1: just play nice. I was playing nice. I just I 202 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,200 Speaker 1: told him. Go ask a GM. Don't believe me, Go 203 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 1: ask somebody you work at TV, go ask go ask 204 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,560 Speaker 1: Doing the production meeting, now, when you're when you're in 205 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 1: the room, there's that time. There's that time when you 206 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 1: get into the fifth, sixth round where you go, hey, 207 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 1: special Teams coach, I'll give you one pick, like we've 208 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 1: got we've got three six round picks, like one of 209 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:22,280 Speaker 1: them is yours. So what whoever you think the best 210 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:26,680 Speaker 1: special teams player is, because we also know in the 211 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 1: six and seventh round you're really talking about a priority 212 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,840 Speaker 1: free agent. Those are priority free agents. There, guys that 213 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 1: we view as free agents that we want to sign 214 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 1: as opposed to their tears to it. We're talking one, two, 215 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 1: and three. Those are players and they need to be 216 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 1: able to be players, positional players, not just special teamers. Yeah. 217 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 1: They they had what three third round picks that year, 218 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 1: so you've got two of them, there's gone. Yeah, but 219 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 1: and and two of them were somewhat projections, right. You 220 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:57,200 Speaker 1: had mused I believe was a safety, and then they 221 00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,200 Speaker 1: tried him as a running back, which I never got that, 222 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,600 Speaker 1: and he's now in Miami playing wide receiver kind of 223 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 1: doing what he did, which is what he did in Kentucky. 224 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 1: So it's one of those things. But you know those 225 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 1: things that come back to bite you when you start 226 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,959 Speaker 1: missing in the second and third round year after year 227 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 1: after year. It really it rose to depth on your 228 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 1: team because those guys are supposed to be your development 229 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 1: of guys that eventually become starters. In year two and 230 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 1: year three. Yeah, and you know you can make up 231 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 1: some of it because you hit on um, you know, 232 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:27,959 Speaker 1: Max Crosby outside those first three rounds, you hit on 233 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,320 Speaker 1: a Hunter renfro where they hit on him, Like, you 234 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:31,719 Speaker 1: can make up for some of it. But man, it's 235 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 1: just it's it makes the margins really thin. Like those guys, 236 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,599 Speaker 1: they don't necessarily be great players, but they have contributed, 237 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 1: contributing members of your team. They have to at least 238 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,560 Speaker 1: be on the roster doing something like they can't be 239 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 1: off the roster on somebody else's roster. Mean, you just 240 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,080 Speaker 1: spended the draft pick one, no doubt. All right, let's 241 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 1: get to this draft here, m v P S. I'm 242 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 1: gonna give you the first pick. We'll do three a 243 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:53,960 Speaker 1: piece here. I'll give you the first pick. First run 244 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 1: out of here, m VP. Oh, that's easy. Give me 245 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,079 Speaker 1: number fifteen with the Chiefs Jersey. I'm gonna go with 246 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,440 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes. Give me the best player playing on the 247 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 1: team that wins a ton when he's there. Uh was 248 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 1: he thirty eight and eight as a starter. That's enough said, 249 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 1: they've been to two Super Bowls with him at the quarterback. 250 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 1: I think he has to be the front runner. That's 251 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 1: why I have to take Well, I think I drafted 252 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:15,719 Speaker 1: the Bills first in my Super Bowl Contender draft, so 253 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,079 Speaker 1: I gotta take Josh Allen with my with my m 254 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 1: v P draft here, So I'll go. I'll go Josh 255 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:23,199 Speaker 1: Allen first pick. You're up, man, Josh Allen, right out 256 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 1: the gate. I mean, I'm big on the Bills this year, 257 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:29,200 Speaker 1: man Bills Mafia's I'm not angering them this year. I'm 258 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,560 Speaker 1: I'm a member at my table on the table on 259 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 1: the other room. You're all in. Okay. So, because the 260 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 1: m v P Award is voted on by writers and 261 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 1: it's not one of those things with players, I think 262 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 1: there's going to be a faction of folks that want 263 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 1: Tom Brady to be the MVP. So I'm gonna take 264 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 1: Tom Brady with the second overall pick because the Buccaneers 265 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:52,679 Speaker 1: are loaded twenty two returners, and if they win, I mean, 266 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,559 Speaker 1: we're gonna bow down and we're going to hail number 267 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 1: twelve regardless of what he does. So give me Tom Brady. Okay, 268 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:00,720 Speaker 1: that's easy. That's a that's probably a smart pick there. 269 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:05,319 Speaker 1: Uh my second pick, I feel like this is very chalkish, 270 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:10,840 Speaker 1: you know, it's gonna be I'm gonna hold hold on, Nobile. 271 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 1: Can you join me for this real quick? Bill? Can 272 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 1: you hop on? No? Bill? Yeah? All right now, Bill? 273 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 1: Who's my pick? Go ahead, take off to take off 274 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 1: to Jersey. No, Aaron Rodgers. Jersey's where all my packers here? 275 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:25,680 Speaker 1: This week with with with the With the second pick 276 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:30,200 Speaker 1: in the m v P Draft, DJ selects Aaron Rodgers. 277 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 1: Thank you to Bill. Okay, you're good. Who's streaming? Like team? 278 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:35,319 Speaker 1: He doesn't even like the team that he had to 279 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:36,959 Speaker 1: take him. I gotta take him. I got a rod 280 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 1: all right, you got you got last pick round three. 281 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,320 Speaker 1: It's tough, I mean, because what we're just gonna We're 282 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 1: just gonna pick pick all quarterbacks? All right? So this 283 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 1: this is the guy that's gonna win the war because 284 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 1: maybe this is a surprise team. Did everyone is say 285 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,960 Speaker 1: in the surprise team? But how about this, I'm going 286 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 1: to take Baker Mayfield from the Cleveland Browns as an 287 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,079 Speaker 1: m VP candidate because the Browns are going to win. 288 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 1: They have already to be the most talented rod Ston football. 289 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,680 Speaker 1: And if all the credit goes to the quarterback, then 290 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:05,319 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield was gonna get a ton of credit for 291 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 1: this success like he got last year. So give me 292 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield as a dark horse contender. I would take 293 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 1: him with my third pick in the draft. No, I 294 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:18,720 Speaker 1: like I like the Browns. I'm big on the Browns. 295 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 1: I don't think that's crazy. I don't think that's crazy 296 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 1: at all. I don't. I don't think he's crazy because 297 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:24,280 Speaker 1: we just give it to It's like the Hysman Trophy, 298 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 1: it only goes to quarterbacks. Taking him over Russell Wilson 299 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,120 Speaker 1: think would be a better team than the Seahawks. Yeah, 300 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 1: they could be, but I don't know. Russell Wilson's looking 301 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 1: out and seeing DK Metcalf on one side, he's seeing 302 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 1: lock it on the other. He's seen it last year. 303 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 1: He melted down the stretch. I think forty touchdowns last year? 304 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 1: Buck did he melted down the stretch? Um, gosh, I'm not. 305 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 1: I'm not doing the Tannehill thing. I know some people 306 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 1: are doing the Tannhill thing. I'll tell you what. I'll 307 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 1: tell you what I know I'm doing. You take make Joms. No, 308 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 1: I'm I'm taking Lamar Jackson. Oh, because I think that 309 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 1: that uh, when you look at their situation with d 310 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 1: K heye to see what happened with with d k 311 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 1: uh JK. Dobbins? Why K got dk in my brain 312 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 1: talking Russell Wilson, J K. Dobbins being out. I think 313 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 1: I think the Lamar is gonna put a little more 314 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 1: on him. I think he's gonna put a little more 315 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 1: on him. He's gonna be a little bit more aggressive 316 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 1: as a runner, which is a scary thought. And I 317 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 1: think Lamar ends up collecting his second m v P. 318 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 1: So he's my third pick. So you got my homes, 319 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 1: Brady Baker, I got Alan a Rod and Lamar. Yeah. 320 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 1: I feel good about that. I feel we'll put this 321 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,160 Speaker 1: on social. We'll put this on social with a little 322 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 1: pole like who has the better teams? Will do for 323 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 1: any of these categories. I have two guys off the 324 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 1: cover of mad I have my homes and Brady like that. 325 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 1: Usually that Usually that usually ends well.

So let's go Aaron Donald. That's easy, okay, 339 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 1: d Now that was easy for you. Um looking at 340 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 1: my list of guys here, I'll tell you what. I 341 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 1: don't feel great about the contract situation right now, but 342 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go with t. J. Watt 343 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 1: was gonna join his brother and he's gonna join one. 344 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 1: Mm hmm. All right, here we go, you know, by 345 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 1: the way, by the way, side side side topic, real 346 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 1: quick before we move on. If you're the Jets and 347 00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 1: they haven't signed him yet, do you least make that 348 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 1: phone call that Jets have a ton of picks? Are 349 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,880 Speaker 1: you can make your phone call? The trade form would 350 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 1: And if you're Kevin Covid, like, how do do you 351 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,480 Speaker 1: even stay on this phone call. What are we talking? 352 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 1: Should but you you you, you haven't got the deal done, 353 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,440 Speaker 1: so obviously something's keeping you from giving him all the 354 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 1: cash that he really deserves. He's twenty six years old. 355 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 1: Like to me, that's if I'm the Jets. I know 356 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:23,080 Speaker 1: you're technically not really close, but that's the biggest need 357 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 1: on your roster, and you could get arguably the best. 358 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:27,639 Speaker 1: And I think he led the league in sacks last year. 359 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,360 Speaker 1: Years old. I'm not saying he's gonna answer the phone, 360 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,200 Speaker 1: but I might call. I might at least try voicemail. 361 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,680 Speaker 1: We get you, get Karl Lawson, Get Karl Lawson back 362 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 1: next year. You're guess. I mean, I understand, And you 363 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 1: can't blame me for trying. No, it's a very ambigious thing. 364 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 1: You have to at least call, like just like when 365 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers said he wanted out, you get at least 366 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:53,359 Speaker 1: picking the phone going hey, yeah, hey, what um okay, 367 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 1: who's up? You up? I got one? How about for 368 00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 1: a team that's still trying to figure out their nickname? 369 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 1: How about say Young for the Washington football team? Right team? Okay, 370 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 1: you go Chase Young, Okay, right team. I'll take Montes 371 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 1: sweat right after your changing. Oh man, I'll take them 372 00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 1: as a duo breaking crystal. I've been I've been studying 373 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 1: these games all week. I've been studying them all week, 374 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,560 Speaker 1: getting right for this Charger game. Montes, what does some 375 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,920 Speaker 1: things that Chase Young can't do? I mean he's he 376 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,879 Speaker 1: can bend, he can bend, he's got more burst, um, 377 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:31,200 Speaker 1: he's get his length is ridiculous. What he does, He's 378 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,440 Speaker 1: a mean And I love Chase Young. You have a 379 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 1: huge grade and he's gonna be a perennial pro bowler 380 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 1: right now, I think, Montes, what's a better player than 381 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 1: Chase Young? I mean maybe it's the derk Jeta a 382 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:44,760 Speaker 1: Rod thing, you know. I mean you have a Rod 383 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 1: like no, I got no no, no, no, no no no, no, 384 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:52,600 Speaker 1: d you got a Rod who might be the better player. 385 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 1: But because geta was there and then a Rod came in, 386 00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:59,320 Speaker 1: technically Montes was there. So no, no, you got the 387 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 1: right analogy, you got the wrong, dude. All right, your 388 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 1: last pick? Go ahead, Oh last pick. This is this 389 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 1: is tough because we're all taking pass rushers. But we 390 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 1: went all quarterbacks and we've been going all pass rushers. 391 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 1: Give Darius Leonards some love. Come on, No, I'm not 392 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 1: giving Darius Lenard because there's another guy. You have the 393 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:22,600 Speaker 1: right team, you have the wrong player. Yeah, he was 394 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 1: in the mix for me. Yeah. Like by the way, 395 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 1: by the way, I know this was my thought process. 396 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,119 Speaker 1: If if if I could, if somebody handed me an 397 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:33,119 Speaker 1: AFFI David right now with a sworn affidatedt David that 398 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 1: said that Nick Bosa was going to be healthy for 399 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,879 Speaker 1: seventeen games, you take I'm probably taking him with the 400 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 1: first pick. If I still, I just, I just I 401 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:45,480 Speaker 1: gotta taken over joy man. I love Joey. Joey's gotta 402 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,119 Speaker 1: stay healthy for the full year too. Joey's Joey should 403 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 1: have he probably should have been picked in this. He's right, 404 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:51,479 Speaker 1: he's righting that. I mean, then you got another guy 405 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,359 Speaker 1: you got in the safety back there right there. You 406 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,160 Speaker 1: see the home team every week you're trying to separate 407 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,679 Speaker 1: yourself from I'm not I'm not being called a home 408 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,320 Speaker 1: and I'm not putting any jinks, any kibosh on the Chargers. 409 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 1: So I'm just laying low here. Just let Adam stay 410 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,320 Speaker 1: healthy and let's live and off we go. Um.

But I feel like there's 415 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,399 Speaker 1: this groundswell of support that people are just looking for 416 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,879 Speaker 1: anything that is even a hint of Tom Brady s 417 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:29,879 Speaker 1: He's going to get credit for us to give me 418 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 1: Mac Jones. I don't think the numbers would be anywhere 419 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,119 Speaker 1: close to warrant it. But if they win, and they 420 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,360 Speaker 1: win like they should win with the team that they've constructed, 421 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 1: he didn't get a lot of He isn't a lot 422 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,879 Speaker 1: of love.

I'm gonna take Michael Parson because I 460 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 1: believe the Cowboys actually gonna build his defense around him. 461 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 1: His versatility and toughness, the way he comes off the edge. Um, 462 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 1: he could be a problem man. You can already see 463 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 1: you on tape. When you watch him in the preseason, 464 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 1: he is all over the place. I think, dude, well, 465 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 1: then leash and he's gonna have a ton of production, 466 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 1: all right. I like to see. I like that we 467 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,440 Speaker 1: didn't just go with the with the standards. You know, 468 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,879 Speaker 1: we could have gone Trevor Lawrence, you know, Zack Wilson. 469 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 1: I could have gone like if I had to do 470 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 1: with my runner would have been Nager Harris. Yeah for 471 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,119 Speaker 1: thes see those are but that's too easy. We had 472 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:07,640 Speaker 1: to have a little phone with it. Okay, we've got 473 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:11,240 Speaker 1: Coach of the year. Um, let's go. We can go. 474 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 1: Let's sprint through three. We'll each get three.

I'm gonna go with this guy because 477 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 1: I think he's stubborn. I think his stubbornness might be rewarded. Uh, 478 00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 1: let's go with John Harbor with the Baltimore Ravens. I 479 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,119 Speaker 1: do not believe that the Baltimore Ravens are going to 480 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,720 Speaker 1: revamp their offensive scheme. I do not believe that they're 481 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,120 Speaker 1: going to suddenly have the ball flying all over the yard. 482 00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 1: I believe they're going to stick with this running game 483 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,160 Speaker 1: that has allowed them to be the leading rushing team 484 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,440 Speaker 1: the last two years. I'm going with John Harbor. I'm 485 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 1: saying he sticks to his conviction. I like that. Um, 486 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,400 Speaker 1: you know, you know three things that I like in Lifebuck, 487 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 1: What do you like? I like mcgriddles, oh gosh, I 488 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 1: like McNuggets, Oh my goodness. And I like McDermott. No, 489 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 1: that's a that's that's a that's a map. I would say, 490 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:05,960 Speaker 1: big Mac, Big Mac, No, no, I'm going McDermott. McDermott, 491 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:09,359 Speaker 1: give me. I'm all in on the Bills. Look, I 492 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,080 Speaker 1: mean you're all in m v P. You picked him 493 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 1: go to Super Bowls and coach naturally has to flow 494 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:18,040 Speaker 1: from that. I'm gonna give you another pick a team 495 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,440 Speaker 1: that I believe is on the rise and they're going surprised. 496 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 1: How about Mike Zimmer and the work that he will 497 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:26,920 Speaker 1: do with the Minnesota Vikings. Okay, all right, Well, a 498 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,119 Speaker 1: lot of times these awards don't go necessarily to the 499 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 1: best team. They go to the team that made the 500 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,840 Speaker 1: biggest improvement. Um. And so I'm gonna go with the 501 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:36,720 Speaker 1: home team here. I'm gonna go with Brandon Staley because 502 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:38,159 Speaker 1: I think this Charger team is gonna win a lot 503 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:41,000 Speaker 1: more games than they did last year. So Brandon Staley, see, 504 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 1: I see. Because Brandon Staley is in an intellectual he 505 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,800 Speaker 1: appeals to your intellectual sensibility. We just used his clip 506 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,800 Speaker 1: on the podcast the other day, which was fast. It 507 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 1: was great. We're selfish, he's given he's given us something back. 508 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:57,399 Speaker 1: He certainly gave us some quotable So I think that 509 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,720 Speaker 1: I'm okay with that. Um. Well, I mean, if we 510 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 1: were gonna go Coach of the Year. This team went 511 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,480 Speaker 1: from being out of the mix to end the playoffs 512 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:08,400 Speaker 1: last year, won double digit games, and then we talked 513 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 1: about them being a super Bowl contender. So let's go 514 00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 1: with Kevin Stefanski and the Browns. Yeah, I can't argue 515 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:19,080 Speaker 1: with that. That's a solid one. Um. Again, I'm gonna 516 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 1: stay on this kind of improved theme. I know, man, 517 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,119 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Kyle. I'll go Kyle Shanahan. They're just 518 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,120 Speaker 1: gonna be so much better than they were last year. 519 00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:33,280 Speaker 1: Just they can't help it. And he's got an insurance 520 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 1: policy now with Trede Lance, So uh yeah, I'll go 521 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:41,040 Speaker 1: with Kyle Shanahan. So that's my third pick? You got? 522 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:43,639 Speaker 1: Do you have one more buck? Where did you go first? 523 00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:46,639 Speaker 1: That was it? So who's your first pick? Oh? You 524 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 1: want hardball? Yeah? Yeah, being stubborn, so you had hardballs, 525 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 1: Zimmer you want hardball Zimmers to Fanski and I came 526 00:25:55,240 --> 00:26:00,639 Speaker 1: with McDermott, Staley, Shanahan. That's a good draft right there, man, 527 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:06,399 Speaker 1: it is solid draft. Um, all right, anything else you 528 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:07,639 Speaker 1: want to add here? Back? I know we had to 529 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:09,880 Speaker 1: do kind of abbreviated show today because we're both running 530 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 1: around like crazy but anything, but we now we have something. 531 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:14,879 Speaker 1: But I will say this, this is a college nugget. 532 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,040 Speaker 1: We didn't really talk about the performances that we saw 533 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:21,480 Speaker 1: all weekend from the quarterbacks, but Spencer Rattler Sam Howell 534 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:24,920 Speaker 1: both struggle in their debut. D J. I do want 535 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:28,720 Speaker 1: it because you know how first impressions really matter. I 536 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 1: do wonder when we have this trade thing that's hanging 537 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 1: out there in Houston with d W four and if 538 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,200 Speaker 1: all that stuff is cleared up. I do wonder when 539 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,440 Speaker 1: people look at this and they're trying to assess what 540 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:42,960 Speaker 1: they would give up for a franchise quarterback as they're 541 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:46,920 Speaker 1: looking down the road. I do wonder if the Texas 542 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:49,520 Speaker 1: might eventually get their asking price, because when you look 543 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:53,440 Speaker 1: at the college game, you're like, yeah, I don't know, 544 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:56,320 Speaker 1: that's a lot to give up. It'd be interesting to see. 545 00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,840 Speaker 1: But like, those guys have to play much better if 546 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 1: they're going to command to kind of attention that we 547 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 1: thought they were would come in doing a preseason. Do 548 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,920 Speaker 1: you know how easy the marketing is gonna be when 549 00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:10,280 Speaker 1: the Houston Texans with their cowboy hats on, say they're 550 00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:14,119 Speaker 1: going to the Okay Corral, the okay Matt Corral. I 551 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:16,719 Speaker 1: mean that's coming Buck. I mean, the marketing is all 552 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,639 Speaker 1: right there for you. Man. How how good was he? 553 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,159 Speaker 1: He looked good and Louisville's defense was awful. It was 554 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,560 Speaker 1: but got four minute I felt you know what I 555 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,119 Speaker 1: felt like. Look, I felt like that. I've been on 556 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:31,040 Speaker 1: the sideline in the last couple of weeks kind of 557 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 1: feeling like that's like, hey, guys, second half, you know 558 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,520 Speaker 1: what we're doing. We're playing for pride. We can score. 559 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:41,440 Speaker 1: Can see if we went a second half, Nick Saban, 560 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 1: you see saving stuff to the day off, like you know, 561 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:47,879 Speaker 1: we're reading our clippings and we're not focused. And if 562 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:49,840 Speaker 1: you look at the second half it was a seventeen 563 00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,240 Speaker 1: to ten game. I'm like, beat the stuffing of that. 564 00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,080 Speaker 1: But he's got to find something to be upset about. 565 00:27:56,119 --> 00:28:00,040 Speaker 1: To get the guys. How good are they? Man? And 566 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,040 Speaker 1: it's not fair. I will see this. It was a 567 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,399 Speaker 1: treat to watch them play and then to watch that 568 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,919 Speaker 1: old school game of Georgia and Clemson and it was different. 569 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:12,760 Speaker 1: But just the talent and just how they build different, 570 00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:16,200 Speaker 1: Like I mean, I means team is just built. I 571 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,840 Speaker 1: mean they are Nobody wants to hear it. And I 572 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,040 Speaker 1: know they don't like hearing this in Oklahoma, and I 573 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:23,520 Speaker 1: know they don't like hearing this in Ohio State and Clemson. 574 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,400 Speaker 1: It's a different. It's different. It's a different. That league 575 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:32,440 Speaker 1: is different, different different different ball games. When you look 576 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:36,040 Speaker 1: at just the way that Georgia and Alabama are built 577 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:40,280 Speaker 1: in the trenches and you look at those big athletics. 578 00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:42,920 Speaker 1: I didn't play anybody, but look at A and M 579 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,080 Speaker 1: how those guys are built to just I mean just 580 00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,840 Speaker 1: even the physicality. Like it was funny you hear about 581 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,680 Speaker 1: how people took different approaches in the preseason and in 582 00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:54,600 Speaker 1: the SEC they're like, oh yeah, no, no, no, we're 583 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:59,360 Speaker 1: all contact. The only way you get used to hitting 584 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,680 Speaker 1: fastballs is we go throw fastballs at your practice. And 585 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:03,720 Speaker 1: you can tell the physicality and that stuff. You do 586 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,320 Speaker 1: worry are they going to be able to hold up 587 00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:08,760 Speaker 1: the full season? But man, coming out of the gate, 588 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:11,719 Speaker 1: they certainly were impressive with the physicality and toughness. Yeah. Well. 589 00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:13,640 Speaker 1: The thing the thing with Alabama that makes them so 590 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,480 Speaker 1: special is it's like, oh, we just we just lost 591 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:24,960 Speaker 1: a stud on defense next up there. It is, it's 592 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:26,560 Speaker 1: what it is. It's like going to the store. You 593 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:28,600 Speaker 1: go to the grocery store and you have that big 594 00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:30,520 Speaker 1: ben of apples and you go to pick one and 595 00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:32,320 Speaker 1: one falls off and hits on the ground. You're like, 596 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:38,480 Speaker 1: all right, I mean it, it is. It is unbelievable. 597 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 1: Just the talent. And like Nick Saban had to talk about, 598 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,240 Speaker 1: You're like, hey, have you talked to you in Ricky's 599 00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:47,960 Speaker 1: the NFL place. He's like, dude, seventy guys in the league. 600 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,840 Speaker 1: I can't keep up with everybody. But now the talent 601 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,320 Speaker 1: that just comes out, dude. That is why in the 602 00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:56,240 Speaker 1: scouting bids you typically put your best scout in the 603 00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 1: yes in the Southeast, because that's the sec you can 604 00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 1: see all the guys come out and we can sit 605 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,280 Speaker 1: here and act like, oh, you know, you know, I 606 00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,480 Speaker 1: can see it's It's no, it's not. It's not. And 607 00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,080 Speaker 1: I hate to admit it, but it's not. It's just 608 00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:13,800 Speaker 1: a different difference. It's completely different. The last thing on 609 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,600 Speaker 1: on Alabama was doing a radio show in Birmingham and 610 00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:18,680 Speaker 1: they were asking about teams that could surprise and I 611 00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:21,440 Speaker 1: was like, you know, Washington because of you know that 612 00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 1: defensive front, and you look, I obviously the ends everybody 613 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:26,200 Speaker 1: talks about. But then you've got Jonathan Allen and Ron Payne, 614 00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:27,920 Speaker 1: you know what they do blah blah blah. And then 615 00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:29,600 Speaker 1: I go, my other team would be Denver, and you 616 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:31,040 Speaker 1: kind of look at them and what they can bring 617 00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,000 Speaker 1: to the table, and you look at Pats your tan 618 00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:34,680 Speaker 1: and then also you know you got Jerry. I'm like, 619 00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:37,640 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, Alabama's dudes are everywhere. Like every team 620 00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:38,840 Speaker 1: you like, you the one of the reasons you like 621 00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:40,960 Speaker 1: them because I got a bunch of Alabama guys. And 622 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,120 Speaker 1: here's the one thing that we will continue to saying. 623 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:44,680 Speaker 1: We'll talk about this later as we get in the 624 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:48,959 Speaker 1: coaching down the line. Great players made great coaches. Uh, 625 00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 1: the better players that you have assembled on your roster, 626 00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:54,680 Speaker 1: it's a lot easier to coach those guys didn't make 627 00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,000 Speaker 1: it up. And I think when you're looking at Alabama 628 00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:58,760 Speaker 1: and some of the other teams that we talked about, 629 00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:03,640 Speaker 1: when you have a collection of great players, man, it's 630 00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:05,240 Speaker 1: a lot easy being on the sideline. And when you 631 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:06,840 Speaker 1: got guys that you have in the piece meal together 632 00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,000 Speaker 1: and you're having the out scheme everybody, it's harder to 633 00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:10,760 Speaker 1: do it. That way. The other thing I would look 634 00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:12,400 Speaker 1: to and this is a project for us later done alone. 635 00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:14,320 Speaker 1: We'll get into another day. But the hit rate on 636 00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:17,640 Speaker 1: Alabama players lately pretty darn good. Ah. Yeah, I think 637 00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:19,200 Speaker 1: they fixed that a little issue. We were like, you know, 638 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:23,800 Speaker 1: I don't know about Mama players. Yeah, I don't know. No, 639 00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:27,000 Speaker 1: they're getting well one, they're getting really good players in DJ. 640 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,080 Speaker 1: When we've talked to a bunch of Naja Harris and 641 00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:30,840 Speaker 1: all those guys, you asked them about the process and 642 00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:34,320 Speaker 1: those pros, they are pros, like they get it from 643 00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,480 Speaker 1: the jump. They understand exactly who they are, where they're 644 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:42,800 Speaker 1: trying to go. And maintenance stuff, it's two different balls. Okay, 645 00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:44,760 Speaker 1: I gotta give you this. I talked, I talked to 646 00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:46,680 Speaker 1: my guys. I know he's gonna be listening, But I 647 00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:49,080 Speaker 1: talked to one of my guys in baseball and he's 648 00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:51,760 Speaker 1: working with the company. Um he said, they're working with 649 00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:55,720 Speaker 1: a company that does this cognitive testing and stuff. And 650 00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,960 Speaker 1: he's like, DJ, so like some of the stuff that 651 00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:01,960 Speaker 1: you see from the Rickie Use who may not struggle 652 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:05,840 Speaker 1: going to the National Football League, like these tests can 653 00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:08,840 Speaker 1: kind of tell you from a cognitive standpoint what might 654 00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,880 Speaker 1: be some of the issues. For instance, to wide receiver 655 00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:15,320 Speaker 1: in Cincinnati, Jamaar Chase who's struggling catching the ball, who 656 00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:17,440 Speaker 1: had said like he's having a tough time because they're 657 00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:20,280 Speaker 1: no stripes on the ball. Some would say that there 658 00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:23,120 Speaker 1: was some testing that would indicate that that might have 659 00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:25,720 Speaker 1: been an issue going forward. So as we always talk 660 00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:28,880 Speaker 1: about next level scouting, how we level up in this business. 661 00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:32,719 Speaker 1: You talk about GPS stuff and all that, teams are 662 00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:35,800 Speaker 1: just going to another level when it comes to understanding 663 00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:38,200 Speaker 1: who players are and what they could be at the 664 00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:41,240 Speaker 1: next level, which, by the way, begs the question the 665 00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:43,840 Speaker 1: last year where you didn't play, were you playing catch 666 00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,200 Speaker 1: with a nerve turbo? Like were you not playing catch 667 00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:49,440 Speaker 1: with the NFL ball for the last year. Yeah, look, 668 00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:53,040 Speaker 1: I understand that, and it's it's funny because we speculated, 669 00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:55,560 Speaker 1: like some guys coming out of the pandemic may struggle 670 00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,440 Speaker 1: because the year off. Um, I will give him a 671 00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:01,120 Speaker 1: little bit of a pass on. Hey, it is a 672 00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:03,600 Speaker 1: difference going from catching a ball with stripes to a 673 00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:08,200 Speaker 1: ball that doesn't have stripes. However, when you when you're training, 674 00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:11,520 Speaker 1: I can't really give you that as the excuse, Like 675 00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:15,600 Speaker 1: I can't. It's not different, vastly different from college ball 676 00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:17,640 Speaker 1: to an NFL ball. If he was in the CFL, 677 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,240 Speaker 1: where the ball is fatter, then I would say like, oh, 678 00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,280 Speaker 1: that's different. But this is something like now it's a 679 00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:26,800 Speaker 1: confidence issue because he's dropped a ton and people have 680 00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:28,880 Speaker 1: talked about it. So now you're thinking about things that 681 00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:32,240 Speaker 1: you never thought about. But I mean, it's it's a 682 00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:34,960 Speaker 1: weird thing because I didn't see that as an issue 683 00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:38,440 Speaker 1: even have note somethingthing like oh he drops balls and 684 00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:40,000 Speaker 1: this and that. But I will say this. I'll go 685 00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:42,680 Speaker 1: back to a guy who challenged me, who worked around 686 00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:45,680 Speaker 1: the l s U program, and he compared Justin Jefferson 687 00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:49,760 Speaker 1: and Jamaar Chase, and he told me Justin Differenson is 688 00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:51,680 Speaker 1: the dude and when you look at them go to 689 00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:54,160 Speaker 1: the next level, it won't be close because he is 690 00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:55,920 Speaker 1: the alpha. He was an alpha in the room. And 691 00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:59,080 Speaker 1: right now I have to call my guy and be like, yeah, man, 692 00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:01,520 Speaker 1: you might matter, yeah that the yeah, it's still early 693 00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:04,120 Speaker 1: in that. But Justin Jefferson he hit that. That's for sure. 694 00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:07,640 Speaker 1: That's there's no doubt or what he is. Um, all right, 695 00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:09,400 Speaker 1: I know we gotta scoot here. Buck this has been 696 00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:12,160 Speaker 1: fun looking forward to a full weekend of NFL football. Um, 697 00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:14,719 Speaker 1: do want to encourage everybody.
