1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: And now move the Sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks.

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:08,959
Speaker 1: What's up everybody walking to move the sticks percent and

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 1: by the Ford f series, DJ Bucky here and Bucky.

4
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 1: We've got a lot of cow would you want to

5
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 1: get to a lot of prospects we've seen out on

6
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: our bull swing here. But before we get to the

7
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,439
Speaker 1: college stuff, I gotta handle some business on the NFL

8
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: side of things real quick. A couple of a couple

9
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,800
Speaker 1: of coaching changes I want to highlight real quick. Then

10
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 1: we gotta get to our offensive line of the week.

11
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 1: We talked about Oakland and John Gruden. That marriage looks

12
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 1: like it's probably gonna end up happening. But when you

13
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:36,519
Speaker 1: look at the rest of these openings, which one do

14
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 1: you think is the most attractive to you? I think

15
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: that that's most attracted me would probably be maybe Arizona

16
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 1: because they have a defense that looks like is has

17
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,879
Speaker 1: potential to be a championship caliber defense. You have Patrick Peterson,

18
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,520
Speaker 1: Tyron Matthew, you have Channel Jones who led to league

19
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 1: in Sachs, Hassign Reddick, so there are a lot of

20
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 1: nice pieces to build around. Then on offense, you have

21
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: David Johnson, you have to fix the offensive line in

22
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: the quarter back situation. But I think if I'm starting somewhere,

23
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: I think the defense gives me a chance to be

24
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: about five hundred and after that, I think offensively we

25
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 1: can figure out the rest of it. No, I think

26
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: that's a good one. I mean the quarterback thing we

27
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,559
Speaker 1: concern me a little bit just considering where they're picking.

28
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're gonna be able to get

29
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: one of those big time dudes. Whatever you think of

30
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 1: this quarterback class, Wait to see who comes out. But

31
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: I do agree with you on the defensive pieces in place.

32
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know that there's a um a

33
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: real need to add too much on that side of

34
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: the ball. They're in pretty good shape all three levels

35
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: of that defense. One thing I would caution though, maybe,

36
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 1: is the the young quarterbacks in that division. We look

37
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: at Garoppolo and look at Golf and those two offensive

38
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 1: minded head coaches. The Seahawks look like they're in a

39
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: little bit of a rebuild there. But uh, maybe that

40
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: would discourage somebody knowing what you're getting ready to walk

41
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: into in that division. Yeah, maybe, because you do have

42
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: to deal with two bright, young offensive minds and show

43
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: me being uh Cayle Shanahan, and you have the quarterbacks

44
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: that are beginning to play well for dam Jimmy Garoppolo

45
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: and Jerry Golf respectively. I just think it has to

46
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: be a situation where if you're able to go and

47
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: find a veteran quarterback, maybe maybe you signed one of

48
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 1: those guys and free agency and may be able to

49
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: devote your capital in the draft to add playmakers around

50
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 1: David Johnson. Maybe that's the way to go. But I

51
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,079
Speaker 1: do believe their defense should be good. I think there's

52
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: another situation that is worth talking about. I think the

53
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,639
Speaker 1: New York Jazz could be a good situation because their

54
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: veterans on defense certainly have the ability to play at

55
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: the top ten level. They didn't do it under Steve Spagnello.

56
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: But if you have a good defensive coordinator, you should

57
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 1: be good. And then when you get Odell Beckham junr back, uh,

58
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: maybe you had a running back to something to compliment.

59
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 1: I guess Eli Man is gonna return. I think you

60
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:32,959
Speaker 1: have an opportunity to get back on track. Talking to

61
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 1: folks are on the league, they they view that as

62
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 1: the most attractive for the standpoint of the organizational stability,

63
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: got great ownership. Um, you've got a chance there with

64
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: a bridge quarterback Eli man it can be that bridge

65
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,359
Speaker 1: quarterback for the next two years and then allows you

66
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,519
Speaker 1: the freedom to draft on these guys high in this

67
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: draft if you want, and you don't have to play

68
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 1: them right away. It's kind of a nice situation that

69
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 1: you can bring in a young quarterback a lot of

70
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: weapons around them, but you don't have to. Russian wanted

71
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: to field with Eli Manning there, Man, you like to

72
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: do that, But then I would wonder, however, said with

73
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: Eli be too you bring it in a topic. We

74
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: saw how kind of ball they're coming off the field

75
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: when they wanted to get a look at Gino Smith

76
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 1: and David's web, how would he be with a young

77
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: quarterback that is definitely in line to be the successor.

78
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: I just kind of wonder about that. Also, wonder how

79
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: quick Dave Gettleman senses that they need to flip the quarterback.

80
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 1: Maybe he's a big believe in Eli. Thinks Eli can

81
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: play two. He's forty. We'll see, but I think he

82
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: puts him in a bit of a buyd because when

83
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 1: you're picking that high, you want to get an impact

84
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: player is at a quarterback or is that a position

85
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: player to help ELI. Now that's something they're gonna have

86
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 1: to wrestle with and figure out that. To me, just personally,

87
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: the most attractive job will be Detroit. I know people

88
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: can make their cracks about whether or not you want

89
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: to live in Detroit, but uh, having a quarterback with

90
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: that talent level, you can say the same. You know

91
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: car and what he brings the table, and that makes

92
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: that Oakland job attractive. For John Gordon, I'd rather. I'd

93
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: rather have Matthew Stafford. I think that's an absolutely more

94
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: attractive job with him in place. I got some guys

95
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: need to resign. Zig Yance. I believe it is a

96
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: free agent. But man, you've got Aaron Rodgers, he said,

97
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: I think he said it himself right. He's on the

98
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: back nine. Might be whole tennant eleven, but he's on

99
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: the back nine. There. Um, you've got Chicago still trying

100
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: to figure things out. Minnesota is a really, really good

101
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: football team. But I think you come in there you

102
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: can win right away. And this team Jim Carbo nine

103
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: and seven, Yeah they were I mean they were right there.

104
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: I think they were on the cusp of being able

105
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: to be good. It couldn't get the defense to play

106
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: consistently at a high level. And I think when you

107
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: look at their roster, the challenge will be not only

108
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: from a coaching standpoint, but can the personnel side bring

109
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: guys that have a level of maturity and professionalism when

110
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: it comes to understanding how to play the game and

111
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: do things the right way. There they have talent, you

112
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 1: just gonna make sure you got the right tell to

113
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 1: get them to play at the championship level, no question.

114
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: And then I think the other one that that is

115
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: up in the air to me in terms of whether

116
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 1: it's attractive unattractive Indianapolis. It's all dependent on luck, right,

117
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: If you have a If you have a healthy Andrew Luck,

118
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 1: that's a darn good job. Yeah, I mean, I think

119
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: it is a really good job if Andrew Luck comes

120
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: back and he plays at the level that he's played

121
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: at previously during his career. If not, then it leaves

122
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: a lot to be desired because this is a team,

123
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 1: because you kind of have the apple cross of his

124
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,359
Speaker 1: contract hanging around the franchise. You have to build up

125
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 1: his defense. The draft. They have tried year after year

126
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 1: after year to find a pass rusher and some other

127
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: key defensive players. They haven't been able to do. So

128
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 1: I think is really on Chris Ballot that they gotta

129
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: get it right in the draft. They also gotta find

130
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: a way to find a Markeee free agent that can

131
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: help them. What do you think about Mike Munchak there

132
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 1: with Indianapolis Colts? Hey like that marriage? Well? I mean,

133
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: I think it'd be good because I think if you

134
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 1: have an offensive line coach as the head coach, you

135
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 1: can get a level of toughness and physicality. You also

136
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: can get a commitment to the running game. I think

137
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 1: the biggest thing that has been the issue for Indianapolis

138
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: for years. We can talk about the defense, but their

139
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: offense having a complimentary running game to take some of

140
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,159
Speaker 1: the pressure off Andrew Luck, that is what they need. Also,

141
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: a strong running game will minimize the exposure to the

142
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: defense limited snaps because now you control the ball, you

143
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: play possession ball, play keep away. You don't have to

144
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: worry about your defense playing at as high of a

145
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: level as maybe they need to play. So for me,

146
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: if you do get an offensive line guy like a

147
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: Mike mun Chack who takes over He's certainly gonna put

148
00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:59,280
Speaker 1: his stamp on it. I think there'll be a more

149
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: physical and a ruggae team going forward. I like that fit.

150
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: I think that would make a lot of sense. The

151
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 1: thing to be a great higher We'll see what Chris

152
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 1: Ballard and company end up doing there in Indianapolis before

153
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: we get over to our bowl swing and talking about

154
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 1: some of these college kids. But we gotta do our

155
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: offensive line of the week. This is our built Ford

156
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: Tough offensive line of the week, something our buddy Shann

157
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: O'Hara writes about every week NFL dot com. You can

158
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: check out Shann O'Hara's take on the top offensive lines

159
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: of the week. For me, I'm gonna nominate the Giants.

160
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 1: They made a couple of decisions, Uh Dave Gettlman coming

161
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:29,600
Speaker 1: in there and Bucky and he's kind of stirred things

162
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 1: up a little bit, and they worked this week. He

163
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 1: has he has certainly changed the uh tenor of the

164
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,919
Speaker 1: locker room by letting Bobby Hart go putting airy flows on.

165
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 1: I are they played differently, obviously doing more accountable or

166
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: the dark. We had a big game. They ran the

167
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: ball in a very physical fashion. This is what the

168
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,039
Speaker 1: Giants need to do. This is what they will need

169
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: to continue to do as long as Eli Manning as

170
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,239
Speaker 1: their quarterback. Yeah, they ran for well over two hundred

171
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,239
Speaker 1: yards in that game. Did a good job protecting Eli.

172
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,159
Speaker 1: So uh they are our nominee and winner for Built

173
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,840
Speaker 1: Ford Tough Offensive Line of the Week. Again, check out

174
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 1: Shawn's article NFL dot m You can see his goodness there,

175
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 1: his offensive line and goodness. Let's get over to these

176
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: college ballgames. But I know you want on a swing

177
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 1: and had a chance to go out and see a

178
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: lot of intriguing players. I did as well. Why don't

179
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: you give me the version here, the quick version here

180
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 1: of of what you saw. I think I went to

181
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 1: the Camping World game which was Oklahoma State versus Virginia Tech.

182
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: I want to check out the quarterback, Mason. What's you taking?

183
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: What's your take on Rudolph? You know, I think he's

184
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: the guy that can play really well within a system,

185
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: assystem that allows him to kind of play what I

186
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: call twenty yards or let's play within a box design

187
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 1: it where he can get the ball out of his hands.

188
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: He has some playmakers around. I think he could be

189
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: a starting quarterback in the league. He does play with

190
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: an a list cast of characters on the outside. James

191
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: Washington is great. He has another young playmaker on the

192
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: outside that also makes place. He had two thousand yeard receivers.

193
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: This system is one that has been tough for guys

194
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 1: to make the transition. We saw how Brandon we didn't struggle.

195
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: But I believe, and I believe there are a lot

196
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: of people in the league believe that this guy has

197
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: the right stuff to eventually be a starting quarterback. Not

198
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: necessarily as a first round pick, but maybe in the

199
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: third maybe if he tests really will in the set

200
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: I can. I think somewhere on day two, he'll probably

201
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: hear his name call all right? Does that a couple

202
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: of questions? You have any juice? Does he have any

203
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 1: snap at all? You know, it's funny that you said it,

204
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: because I went to that game looking for that. I

205
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: don't can't say that he's a drive thrower. I think

206
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 1: everything that he has push us a touch kind of

207
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: feathery ball comes out. I think if he plays in

208
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: a system where they really spread it out, allow him

209
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: to kind of dink and duck and carve him up

210
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: with kind of like a paper cut philosophy. I think

211
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 1: he can do that. He does push the ball well

212
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: down the field. They did take some shots in that

213
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: game against Virginia Tech, James Washington had two big touchdowns.

214
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 1: So I think it's one of those situations that you

215
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: have to understand the weapons that he has around him,

216
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 1: make sure you have a nice supporting cast from if

217
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: you can put him in the line up. Give you

218
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: two names of quarterbacks and tell me which one he's

219
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,439
Speaker 1: more like. Is he more Nick Foles or Kirk Cousins.

220
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: I think he falls somewhere in between. I think Nick

221
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: Foles was the three, Kirk Cousins was a four. Probably

222
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 1: he is more like Nick Foles because big body six

223
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: five um kind of built like Folds is maybe similar athlete,

224
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: not ex blows some but has some wiggle stuff to

225
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 1: him where you can kind of maneuver within the pocket.

226
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 1: Good player. But I have had scouts that I really

227
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 1: really trust and that I lean on tell me that

228
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: this guy is gonna be a good players. So I'm

229
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,079
Speaker 1: gonna take them at the word for it. There you go,

230
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: What other games you get to? Let's see. I saw

231
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: the potato ball. I went up to Boise because I

232
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 1: want to see Josh Allen play live, got your and

233
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: to see him play against Central Michigan guys. Everything that

234
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,679
Speaker 1: you talked about from a physical specimen, you talked about

235
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: it would be intoxicating to watch him throw on air,

236
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 1: and it was like that. He certainly can say scouting narcotics,

237
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: scouting narcotics very very much so. He he can um,

238
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: he can make the throws, big arm, can push you

239
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:43,079
Speaker 1: down the field. He's athletic, he can move around. Obviously,

240
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 1: the talent that you see isn't always translating to that

241
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 1: kind of production and performers on the tape. But they're

242
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 1: gonna be some guys who are tinkering, tinkerers, guys who'd

243
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 1: like to get up on the hood and see if

244
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: they can fix new cars. Maybe they can find a

245
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: way to fix Josh Allen. He certainly will be helped

246
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 1: by Pat Mahomes, because Pat Mahomes was all over the

247
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: place last year. When we look at the tape, got

248
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: a chance to play in a Week's seventeen, looked pretty good.

249
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: Maybe there's some teams that feel like they have the

250
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: right coaches that can get out that that that talent

251
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: that everyone sees as a raw prospect better college player

252
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: Mahomes or Josh Allen. I think Mahomes was a better

253
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 1: prospect and put up more production, played better in big games.

254
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 1: I'm still waiting to see the signature game for Josh Allen.

255
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: Haven't found that one in big competition. Because of that,

256
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: I was skew more towards Pat Mahomes. Yeah, I only

257
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 1: think I would say, and Uh, for Josh Allens, I

258
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 1: think his feet are much better than my homes. My

259
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: home's feet were so poor. Uh, and that's something he's still,

260
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 1: you know, working through right now. So uh. You see

261
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 1: Andy Reid and the job that he's done correcting some

262
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 1: of those issues. I think with Josh Allen is more

263
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: decision making more so than than footwork. With him, I

264
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: think that's something's gotta be coached up. You gotta be

265
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: a little bit cognizant of Yeah, I mean I think so.

266
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:53,719
Speaker 1: I think the main thing is you gotta get him

267
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: to understand how to play the game in the fundamental fashion,

268
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: from his footwork to his base to the way that

269
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,200
Speaker 1: he looks and reads coverages to make sure that the

270
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 1: ball goes to the right guy. He is a guy

271
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: in big games. Sometimes it looks a little overwhelming. He

272
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 1: is talented. I've kind of called him a supersized Blake

273
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 1: Bortles are more talented and dynamic Blake Bortles. Maybe that's

274
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: a little harsh, but I see your team having to

275
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 1: play like Jacksonville has had to play with Blake Bortles.

276
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 1: You're kind of playing around him early, and maybe he

277
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: grows into something more than just being kind of a

278
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 1: manager type quarter And we were both at the festival.

279
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: We'll get to that in a minute. How you went

280
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 1: to the Peach Bowl? All right? So you see Ff

281
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: and Arburn? Yeah, you see if Auburn was compelling to

282
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: me because I wanted to see what the quarterback um

283
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: now Mackenzie, but I want to see what the cornerback

284
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: Mike Hughes looked like against I'm a big fan of

285
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 1: his on tape. What did you think of him seeing

286
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: him alive? I mean, I liked him a lot. I

287
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 1: liked his movement skills. I like the way he turns

288
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 1: and transitions. I like the fact that he's a versatile

289
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,319
Speaker 1: too for one player, meaning he can give you big

290
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: time production in the kicking game while also playing corner

291
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: five eleven. I would like to see him a little bigger,

292
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: but in terms of his ball skills, his movement skills,

293
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: and then his willingness to tackle, he checks off all

294
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 1: the boxes. Outside of the kid there we go talk

295
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 1: about a little later from Ohio State. I think he's

296
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 1: right there with him when it comes to the top

297
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: guys in this draft. Yeah, he's He's right behind him.

298
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: For me, I got a big grade on on Hughes.

299
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: We'll see if he ends up I think's under class

300
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 1: and see if he ends up to Claren. I have

301
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,719
Speaker 1: to wait on that North Carolina transfer. Uh. There's a

302
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: little story that goes along with that. I'm sure we'll

303
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 1: have plenty of time to dig into that as we

304
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: get closer towards the draft. Um, all right, let's go

305
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 1: go through my games that I went to here buck.

306
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 1: He started off with the Cotton Bowl. Well, first of all,

307
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: I was supposed to go to the Holiday Bowl, but

308
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 1: then I got when that Luke Falk was not gonna

309
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: be playing, So I decided to bail on that one.

310
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 1: I'm glad I did. Michigan State beat the crud out

311
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 1: of Washington State. Not much of the game uh there,

312
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 1: But so I ended up going out to the Cotton

313
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: Bowl and we'll get to Sam Daland's a second you

314
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 1: mentioned the other corner that is right there with Hughes

315
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: denzel Ward as an elite player, decided not to play

316
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 1: in this game. I was talking to some some coaches

317
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: before the game. Didn't mention that, by the way, that

318
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: he was not gonna be playing, But watching him on

319
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 1: tape in the lead up to that game, I saw

320
00:12:56,559 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 1: a mixture of Pacman Jones as well as um uh

321
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 1: Antoine Winfield. I mean, you talk about under size, tough, explosive,

322
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:08,239
Speaker 1: uh twitched up, can play the ball, forced players outstanding.

323
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,079
Speaker 1: He is a really really good player, really good player,

324
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 1: very competitive. Whenever I watched him on tape, I have

325
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 1: come away and pressed with his willingness to not only

326
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 1: take on top matchups and win those matches, but to

327
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:20,559
Speaker 1: put his face in the fan. Here come up and

328
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,199
Speaker 1: he'll make big his CEO tackle. Um. I actually think

329
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: he's a tougher, more physical player than Marshawn Lattimore. I

330
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 1: think Marshall Lattimore is a little more gifted, but I

331
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 1: believe those guys are probably gonna go in the same

332
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 1: range where you can get players that can come in

333
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 1: pistol him right into the starting lineup and make an

334
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,679
Speaker 1: immediate impact on the edge. Yeah, he's a big time player.

335
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 1: And then to me, the story of the game that

336
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: front for Ohio State dominating, and I went back and

337
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: actually watch the tape of it their interior three. As

338
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: much as we talked about what Bosa did, um and

339
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: uh gosh, who was who was Sam Howard? Your dude, man,

340
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: you love Sam Hubbard. What those guys did on the

341
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: edges was was impressive. But to me, USC was just

342
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 1: overmatching that interior. They hit Donald early and often. And

343
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,719
Speaker 1: when you watch that game, which I did live, then

344
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 1: go watch the Rose Bowl with Baker Mayfield. Baker Mayfield

345
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,199
Speaker 1: didn't get touched physically touched until midway to the second quarter.

346
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 1: Then they started heating him up. Donald was getting hit

347
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 1: almost each and every time he dropped back to throw

348
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 1: buck they were all over him. Yeah, and it's tough

349
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 1: because that evaluation. Everyone is going to go back to

350
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 1: look at and contrast how Sam Donald divers Ohio State

351
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: versus how Baker Mayfield deal. I think the circumstances are different.

352
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield has a better offensive line. Um, Sam Donald

353
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: didn't have that luxury. Sam Donald played in the offense

354
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 1: where he really had to be the driving force. He

355
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: was kind of a one man show. Not to take

356
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: anything away from the receivers that he had, but I

357
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: think we were saying probably a little more pop on

358
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 1: the wide receiver position at Oklahoma right now than the

359
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: guys at s C. And then I think the difference

360
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 1: is from a schematic standpoint. Ohio State had three plus

361
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 1: weeks to get ready to play Ohio State. We talked

362
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: about the uh pros that they had in the personnel

363
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 1: side of it in terms of their lineup, but Greciannad

364
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: hadn opportunity to put some wrinkles in clouded up make

365
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 1: it difficult for Sam Donald with the week when he

366
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: played Oklahoma do the week it was like a regular week.

367
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: I don't think he had as much time to put

368
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: in some some sexy stuff to confuse Baker Mayfield. I

369
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 1: think that would be something that we'll be able to

370
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 1: look at and kind of see and talk about. But

371
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 1: I still think the performance certainly wasn't as bad as

372
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: some have made it out to be. I think it's

373
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 1: a learning experience. I still think at the end of

374
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 1: the day, Sam Donald was very similar to Jameis Winston

375
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 1: had a lot of turnovers this year, but the gunslinger mentality,

376
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: the feiceness to competitiveness, it's always gonna be there. And

377
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: because you're willing to more buy into the man than

378
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 1: maybe the prospect. I think some teams are still going

379
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 1: to ring him at the top guy because they feel

380
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 1: like he understands how to get it done in the

381
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 1: biggest stage. That may be the deciding factor in evaluation.

382
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: I can grab ten to twelve throws that he made

383
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 1: in that game that we're off the charts. Small window

384
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 1: over under throws, over the second level, under the third level,

385
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 1: big time over the top throws. I mean he he

386
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 1: made some incredible plays. When you study that game, it

387
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 1: was a little bit different feel when you really study

388
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: it versus watching on TV. Now, the one thing he's

389
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: got to correct, and whoever gets with him at the

390
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: next level is gonna just try and drill this into him.

391
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: He's got to keep his off hand on the ball

392
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: when he's inside the pocket as big as issue. When

393
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: he's when he's scanning. A lot of times he's he's

394
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 1: the ball's quivering in his right hand, he takes his

395
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 1: left hand off the ball. He's got to keep two

396
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 1: hands on it. That will help alieve you at some

397
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: of the fumble issues that he's had, and just to

398
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: understand too, just in confined spaces, just eat it. I

399
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: mean many times he got sacked, you should have taken

400
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 1: a couple more because they're in scoring position and he's

401
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 1: loose with the football. So that's something he can continue

402
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: to work on. But Buck, I've seen all these guys.

403
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: Now I've got more tape to watch, and the final

404
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 1: verdict is not in. But as we stand right now,

405
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 1: just having watched all these college quarterbacks, I feel like

406
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm on an island. I feel like

407
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: i might be the last man standing, but I'm still

408
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 1: planting my flag on on Sam Donald's top dude. Well,

409
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 1: I think he will end up being the first one

410
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 1: to go. Um. I think more people are gonna come

411
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 1: around to it, particularly after the interviews of the combine,

412
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 1: they kind of get a sense of the man that

413
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: he is. I think the top four are always gonna

414
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 1: be the same, and some kind of order is going

415
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 1: to be Sam Donald, Josh Roland, Josh Allen, and Baker Mayfield.

416
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:05,719
Speaker 1: And then it comes down to what you really like

417
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:09,919
Speaker 1: of the players, I would say the worst player of

418
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 1: that bunch would be Josh Allen. But if you think

419
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 1: about what prospected what he can be, he may be

420
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,120
Speaker 1: first in line. So it would be interesting as all

421
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 1: these guys are kind of going through it and like

422
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 1: doing their evails to determine what do they want. The

423
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 1: guy that is more ready to play maybe the upside

424
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 1: isn't his great or the guy that could be something

425
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 1: that maybe we haven't seen in this league before. All right,

426
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 1: let's get to the Fiesta Bowl. Hit that one up next.

427
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 1: And I'd say Sam Donald's best quarterback in the country.

428
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: But when you talk about just the best football player

429
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 1: around in college football, to me, I don't know there's

430
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 1: a debate. I think it's Sae Kwon Barkley. Throw the

431
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 1: numbers out. I don't care what the stats. Let people

432
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 1: say that they only had this number one hundred games.

433
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 1: Forget it. I don't care. This guy is physically gifted

434
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:54,120
Speaker 1: as any football player in the country, and he put

435
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: on a show for us there in Arizona. He absolutely

436
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 1: put on a show at the Fiesta Ball. And the

437
00:17:58,119 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 1: funny thing is he was a guy that was splitting

438
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: time because obviously they're trying to protect him, make sure

439
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 1: that he gets to the draft healthy and able to go.

440
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 1: And I think the thing in Flashes, you saw the explosivests,

441
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 1: you saw the versatility, you saw his ability to turn

442
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,440
Speaker 1: uh finesse, and the power we saw him catch the

443
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 1: ball off the backfield. We can envision him being a

444
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 1: three down player in the running back position at the

445
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,639
Speaker 1: next level and having a tremendous amount of success not

446
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 1: only is a runner, but as a receiver. Not to

447
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 1: mention obviously he can play in the kicking game, but

448
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 1: I don't think it with a guy picked that high

449
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,199
Speaker 1: that you utilize him like that. But he's one of

450
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:34,400
Speaker 1: these new school guys that we're talking about, the hybrids

451
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 1: that are taken over the game. He's one of those

452
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: that fit the bill question for you. Sae Kwon Barkley

453
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 1: and his skill set, Alvin Camara and his skill set.

454
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 1: Is there anything that Camara does that Sae Kwon Barkley

455
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 1: can't do. No, and he does it in a bigger,

456
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:51,160
Speaker 1: more athletic package about a big man, which is pretty scary.

457
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 1: We've seen what Camara has done this year. I mean

458
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 1: it's really really scary. Offline, we talked about this. You

459
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 1: talked about Watson and looking at his lower body and

460
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 1: how thick and how he built, and we said, we

461
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: brought up the name. You know, Marshall Lynch has a

462
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 1: lower body built like that. Um And going on with

463
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:08,439
Speaker 1: that comparison, I would say, if you go back and

464
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,400
Speaker 1: look at what Marshawn Lynch was coming out of Cow,

465
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,439
Speaker 1: the way that he played, Sa Kwan has some of that.

466
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 1: I could see him impacting a franchise. I'm not saying

467
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,879
Speaker 1: he's as violent or as physical a runner, but his

468
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 1: versatility is something that I think a really creative offensive

469
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 1: coordinator can tap into. And to have your starting running back,

470
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 1: your number one that can do so much, man, it

471
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 1: really changes what you can do on offense. Going for Yeah,

472
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 1: he announced he's coming out, it's uh, it's to me,

473
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 1: it seems like a pretty clean and easy prospect. Not

474
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 1: a lot of guests work there with se Kwon Barkley,

475
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 1: another player in that game though. We went down on

476
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 1: the field before the game and Vita via plus Buck

477
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 1: he's not fat and he had to play in that game.

478
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:46,399
Speaker 1: That I think we'll be talking about a bunch of

479
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 1: spring We certainly we're talking about his ability to cover

480
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 1: a punt. You just don't see a nose tackle on

481
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,679
Speaker 1: punt team, let alone someone that is coming down running

482
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 1: and nailing the punt returner. So for me, it really

483
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,080
Speaker 1: stilled it. But I knew looking at his background he

484
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 1: had been a running back in high school, a real

485
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 1: running back, not a goal last specialist, but a real

486
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 1: running back, someone that really had the ball in his hands.

487
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 1: So that speaks to his athleticism at that size. This

488
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 1: punt that we'll see, this point coverage clip that will

489
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,399
Speaker 1: be played over and over again, kind of showcases his

490
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,439
Speaker 1: athleticism and the impact that he could make. I was

491
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 1: talking to an executive at the Cotton Bowl and he

492
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 1: brought it up, said have you done the Washington d

493
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 1: T And said, oh, no, he's he's a real deal.

494
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 1: He goes, you were you were there in Baltimore. You've

495
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: gotten not on. I said, yeah, he goes more athletic

496
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 1: and there I go, yeah, yes, he's just as strong.

497
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 1: It's scary and helody not I. I've told this story

498
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: million times. He was blocked the punt against Arizona when

499
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 1: he was when he was at Oregon and ended up

500
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: making the tackle down the field. So he kind of

501
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 1: has that freaky special teams played to go along with

502
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:43,679
Speaker 1: what it reminded me of. We broke down Danny Shelton

503
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:45,439
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago and how he bustled down

504
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 1: the field on one of those plays ready yards. That's

505
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,399
Speaker 1: a lot like that same deal. He's just is just

506
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: a much better athlete than absolutely Danny Shelton. I think

507
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: he end up running the five fives. I was told,

508
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:56,920
Speaker 1: be ready for this kid to end up running like

509
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 1: the four nines. Are a little bit below. Very athletic,

510
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,199
Speaker 1: not fat at all, thick, not fat, no question. All right,

511
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 1: So we we had some fun there at the Fiesta

512
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,640
Speaker 1: Bowl ended up being a sneaky good game, and then

513
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 1: finally the Rose Bowl, h Buck, We touched on this

514
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 1: a little bit with Baker Mayfield. Everything I saw in

515
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: the first half, what you wanted to see, what you

516
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,879
Speaker 1: love about Baker Mayfield. You saw the energy, you saw

517
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 1: the accuracy, you saw the creativity. I mean, he was

518
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 1: he was on fire. They came up boomboa boom. I

519
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 1: think they scored our first touch on their first three drives.

520
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 1: They were on fire. And then second half they started

521
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,439
Speaker 1: touching a little bit, started to get to him, balls,

522
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:32,439
Speaker 1: took off on I mean, missed some easy throws, had

523
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 1: a sale pick over the middle of the field. I thought.

524
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 1: Then at the end of the game, kind of in

525
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 1: a bizarre way, they took the ball out of his hands,

526
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,679
Speaker 1: which I understand what Lincoln Riley was thinking at that

527
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:42,639
Speaker 1: point in time, but I thought, you gotta if you

528
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 1: love Baker Mayfield, I thank you saw some things that

529
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 1: you see. Manage your your your belief there and if

530
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 1: you had some question marks, are consider some concerns about

531
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:52,880
Speaker 1: him transition to the next level. I think the second

532
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 1: half maybe fed a little bit of that beast. Yeah,

533
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,919
Speaker 1: I mean I certainly think all those points are valid.

534
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 1: I think the big thing, biggest takeaway, I love the grit.

535
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 1: I love his bounce back ability through her interception later

536
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 1: in the game, got the ball right back to his team,

537
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 1: right down to score. Always want to see how people

538
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 1: respond in averge situations. UM. I wanted to see how

539
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: he would respond against the defense that also could chase

540
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 1: him and maybe run him down. They ran him down

541
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 1: a few times, but for the most part, he stayed

542
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 1: in the pocket and he was really dealing. Had her

543
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 1: outstanding first half fell off a little bit the second half.

544
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 1: But I think some of that is and this has

545
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 1: been a trend when I've looked at Baker. When Baker

546
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 1: gets hit repeatedly, I just don't know if he has

547
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 1: the stature to be able to withstand it. I know

548
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,399
Speaker 1: we've made these comparisons to Russell Wilson, but one of

549
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 1: the things about Russell Wilson when he's been hit, because

550
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: he's physically changed his body, he's a little thicker. It

551
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: doesn't affect his play. He doesn't exert as much energy either, Right.

552
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 1: I wonder. I wonder when I go back and I

553
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 1: look at this game and I go all the way

554
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 1: back to last year when they played Houston, I felt

555
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 1: like he wore down a little bit because he got

556
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 1: banged around. That would be something that evaluated need to

557
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 1: dig into just to see from a durability standpoint, does

558
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 1: he have the compere didive endurance to withstand a game

559
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 1: that is very physical and competitive. A couple of the

560
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:06,640
Speaker 1: points on that game before we wrap it up here,

561
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: uh last year getting a chance to see uh Ruben

562
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,159
Speaker 1: do his thing. Ruben Foster last year watched him take

563
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 1: his game to another level once they got in the postseason.

564
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 1: Ro Kuan Smith in that second half was a monster.

565
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 1: Love love watching him play. He made two big tackles,

566
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 1: old school tackles where he form fitted drove him back.

567
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 1: Uh the playoff. One of those two, I think it

568
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:28,679
Speaker 1: was where it was a big you're about to get

569
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 1: into it third down where he should have been dead

570
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 1: to his rights and the running backs cutting back, but

571
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 1: he stuck his helmet right in the middle of his chest.

572
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:36,639
Speaker 1: Did a great job of making an old school hit.

573
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 1: Did I mean really good job, Like the thing that

574
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,119
Speaker 1: you're looking for from an inside lineback. You want to

575
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 1: make sure that they can dominate the game when it's there.

576
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: He showed up in a major way. Kind of love

577
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 1: how he performed now, he was outstanding. He's a fun

578
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 1: player to watch and talking to the folks with Georgia,

579
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 1: they say he's an outstanding kid. The characters off the chart,

580
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 1: So he's an easy one. The two backs from Georgia

581
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 1: surprised a lot of people when they came back for

582
00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:00,119
Speaker 1: their senior season. Been a big believer in both these guys.

583
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 1: I'm I've been a Sony Michelle over Nick Chubb fan.

584
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:05,360
Speaker 1: I think they're both great players. I don't think either

585
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 1: one of them get out of the second round when

586
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 1: it's all said and done. Personally, I think Sony Michelle

587
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 1: is worth the worth the first round pick. But they

588
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,400
Speaker 1: were man. They looked the Oklahoma's Swiss cheese on defense,

589
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 1: but those guys stepped up and delivered, both running the

590
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 1: ball as well as receiving from Michelle. I think that

591
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:22,119
Speaker 1: Avocabarra impact will help a guy like Sonny Michelle because

592
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 1: teams will spend all off season looking at number four

593
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 1: he won from the Saints and what he was able

594
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:28,880
Speaker 1: to do for that offense. He's baby arguably the most

595
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,400
Speaker 1: valuable player on that Saints offense. Not the most important,

596
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 1: but the most value in terms of what he's able

597
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 1: to do. Teams will try to replicate that formulare trying

598
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 1: to find a guy that can do that. I think

599
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 1: Michelle could be that because his versatility, his explosiveness, his suddenness,

600
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: because he can run it and catch it. He's an

601
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:48,879
Speaker 1: impact player now. He was. He was outstanding. That was

602
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 1: fun to watch. I'm looking forward to seeing Alabama against

603
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 1: these guys next week in the championship game in Atlanta.

604
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:55,439
Speaker 1: Real quick, before we get out of here, at what

605
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:57,679
Speaker 1: give me a little preview there. That stadium. What kind

606
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 1: of stadium were looking at? Unbelievable stadium to have everything

607
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 1: that you can want. Ums peach cobbler, We got some

608
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:04,879
Speaker 1: peach cobbler. Well, I mean then we're talking about the

609
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 1: amenities at the game. Now. Anytime Chick fil A host,

610
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 1: it's gonna be Did they have Chick fil A up

611
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:12,640
Speaker 1: in the press because because because because it was a weekday,

612
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 1: Oh nice, the championship games on Monday. Yeah, they had

613
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:17,879
Speaker 1: had Chick fil A up in there. I told you

614
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 1: early they had uh, like a French toast casserole that

615
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 1: I've never had. It sounds amazing. Good. Then, Uh, they

616
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,440
Speaker 1: had little sliders, they had a cookie. They didn't have

617
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 1: our normal peace cobbler, but they had everything else. But

618
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,239
Speaker 1: what I really liked about the stadium beyond that when

619
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,160
Speaker 1: I finally was able to get myself out the press

620
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 1: box and go down and walk around the concourse, I

621
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,120
Speaker 1: like the fact that everything is less than ten dollars.

622
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 1: How about that Good East down there? Cheap Good East.

623
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:45,680
Speaker 1: That's good. I'm looking forward to getting out there Atlanta

624
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,640
Speaker 1: for the championship game on Monday. Anything else you want

625
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:49,959
Speaker 1: to get two Buck before we get out of here.

626
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,119
Speaker 1: I think, I think, I think, I think that's it. Man.

627
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 1: I'm just curious to see not only some of these

628
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:55,920
Speaker 1: coaching jobs, but then we have a couple of GM

629
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 1: openings that are coming up with Sad Thompson. You see

630
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,879
Speaker 1: the news on Zoe Alonso. Yeah. Yeah. And for those

631
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,119
Speaker 1: who don't know Alonso Highsmith, great player at the University

632
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 1: of Miami. He's a gold Glove champion boxer. I mean,

633
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 1: he's he's he's got a great story. He is a stud. Uh,

634
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 1: he's outstanding, though outstanding evaluated, doing a great job with

635
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers for a very long time. That's

636
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 1: a good get for John Dorsey, good years. You're talking

637
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 1: about two football guys, two guys to get it, two

638
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,159
Speaker 1: guys that are a lockstep in terms of how players

639
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:25,159
Speaker 1: should look. That's a really good move for to Cleveland.

640
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 1: Brown's kind of fortifies their front offers. Means there's gonna

641
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 1: be a lot of changes, a lot of changes up

642
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 1: there in terms of how they go about doing things,

643
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 1: be a little different for some of those guys. Football folks.

644
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 1: They got those guys now in Cleveland. Only one way

645
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:38,479
Speaker 1: to go, and that's up so look forward to uh
