  Speaker 2: It's a marathon marathon. I mean, Bill.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Belier, it might be a marathon, but that was a
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: track meet that I watched on TV of the night.
• 0:49
  Speaker 5: It wasn't It wasn't. It was a track meet. We
• 0:51
  Speaker 5: haven't had preseason games. There was Week one a preseason
• 0:57
  Speaker 5: It doesn't it doesn't look like doesn't look like that.
• 0:59
  Speaker 5: The next week we played Charlotte, did we play Richmond?
• 1:02
  Speaker 5: So by the time Clemson rose intown? Will you ready
• 1:04
  Speaker 5: for the regular season?
• 1:05
  Speaker 6: By the way, TCU football has been going off on
• 1:11
  Speaker 6: X by the way they responded to a post from
• 1:16
  Speaker 6: u NC that is announcing that Hulu thing that's going
• 1:19
  Speaker 6: to be following Belichick and the football team throughout the season.
• 1:23
  Speaker 6: I guess and TCU football quote posted when's the first
• 1:28
  Speaker 6: episode dropped? Oh, there's a couple more in there too.
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: I take it shots, yeah, Buck can I.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: By the way, we're gonna do some We're gonna do
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: some college football today and then we're gonna get to
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: our rookie draft, our first rookie draft of the year.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: So we do that every year. We pick some rookies.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: We keep track of the totals.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: It's like basically fantasy football, just for rookies, and we
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: do this every week and we tallied up as we
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: go throughout the year. So we'll get to that in
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: just a little bit. But on the college football side
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: of things, Buck, we're going to move on from Carolina soon,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: so you'll be out of your misery. But I did
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: have one thought that I wanted to get your take on.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: And rhet hop in here too. Is someone who's meeting
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: with coaches all the time doing the stuff you're doing
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: for the Big Ten network. I hear all the time,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: and it was even and even I talked to Clad
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: about it a little bit, because you know, Matt Patricia, there
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: was a lot of NFL to that defense at Ohio
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: State running and we think about the complexity of a
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: NFL defense. And we talk all the time when NFL
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: guys come to college how complex it is, But Buck,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: what I don't hear is what a challenge it is
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: when you think about the diversity of offenses in college
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: that you don't see in the NFL. Like there's more
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: stuff to prepare for in a college game defensively than
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: for an NFL game.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: And there's literally.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Like it's like a Petri dish, like they're experimenting on
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: a weekly basis at the college level.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: No, I think the thing for an NFL guy, and
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: I'll say for Belichick in particular, is someone who loves
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: to kind of mix and matches coverages based on the
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: opponent each week week. You don't have enough time to
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: have a large playbook. You just don't have enough time
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: to get good at being able to play cover four,
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: cover three, cover two, match coverage, all these other things
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: that you've been able to do in the pros. And
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: you also don't have the depth of knowledge amongst the.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Players to be able to do it.
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: So you think about those great New England teams that
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: had the veteran players that could finish each other's sentences,
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: and that it played for a long time. When you
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: have a Rodney Harrison and Willie McGinnis and say out
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: when all these guys that have played for a long time,
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: you can do some things on the flot. What you
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: can do with college guys, particularly transfer porter guys, is
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: everyone has a different level of experience and expertise, so
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: you kind of have to piece mill it. I will say,
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: getting off Belichick and talking about Patricia, what he did
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: against Texas was nothing short of brilliant.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: And the trick though, is he had a lot of
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: time to prepare for Texas.
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: What is that like when now you have a week turnaround,
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: like you go Oregon, Den, Penn State or whatever. But
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: against Texas he had the entire offseason, preseason to put
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: in a game plan for Arch Manning and the Longborns.
• 4:05
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I would say that's your You're spot on there
• 4:09
  Speaker 6: as well.
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: The thing that I've noticed is how.
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: How teams will adapt to star players, right, I mean,
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: like it was it was clear, you know when I
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: was doing this USC you know, Missouri State game, and
• 4:26
  Speaker 6: then look, when you get a different.
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: Level of competition, it's a little bit tough to gauge.
• 4:30
  Speaker 6: Too, but you know, they are so worried about getting
• 4:34
  Speaker 6: beat on chunk plays, right, especially with guys like Jakobe
• 4:37
  Speaker 6: Lane and Makay Lemon, who you know, Missouri State had
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: the misfortune of dealing with in this game.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: It's like they they wanted to play.
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: As much cover for as they possibly could too over
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: the top and let's just keep everything in front of
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: us as much as possible, which allowed, you know, sc
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: to run the heck out of the football. One thing
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: I've been following is our next week. This week's game
• 4:58
  Speaker 6: for US is Penn State. Penn State is dealing with
• 5:02
  Speaker 6: a lot of five down fronts, which you know is
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: something I don't know that we talk about a ton, right,
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: And I think in college, you know, we see a
• 5:11
  Speaker 6: ton of the four two five stuff, right, We're starting
• 5:13
  Speaker 6: to see a little bit more that three three five.
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: Well, but with you know, Kate tron Allen and Nick
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: Singleton and that you know, potent run game of Penn State,
• 5:24
  Speaker 6: really good offensive line by the way, they feel like
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: they have ten starter caliber players on their team in
• 5:30
  Speaker 6: terms of offensive lineman. They're seeing a bunch of five
• 5:32
  Speaker 6: down fronts to try to slow things down in the
• 5:35
  Speaker 6: run game. So yeah, I think, you know, some of
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: those trends are always interesting to see develop in the
• 5:41
  Speaker 6: college ranks and then make their way to the lead.
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: I think what's interesting about the five man fronts. That's
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: been a thing the last couple of years. In fact,
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: Illinois was really heavy with the bear front when Bill
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: mud just came over from the Giants or Patriots and
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: Giants or whatever, and he brought some of that and
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: part of the advantages of the down front as you
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: create one on one matchups all across the board, and
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: so when you have that five oh look and you
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: get man o man protection, if you start adding some
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: games inside those three man games with the two tackles
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: in the nose, it's very advantageous and we're seeing it
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: even at the pro level.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: The penny front is what people are calling it.
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: Like even Brandon Staley and those guys were using those
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: things to clog up the run game but also give
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: you some of these soft coverage in the past. So
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: it's been a very effective thing. So it's some of
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: the trickle down trickle up the factor that you have
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: when you have coaches that are kind of living in
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: both worlds.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: On the arch manning stuff like we'll get into that buck.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: But the you know, I didn't I do that first
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: look series over the summer, and he was on the
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: list that he was the last one I had to do,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: and I didn't end up doing him. I just didn't
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: feel I had enough good tape that I wanted to
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: put a strong opinion out there one way or the other.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: I just it was income and I just hadn't seen enough,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: and I thought it would be unfair to do it.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: So I was curious. I wanted to see what it
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: looked like. Now you mentioned Patricia a beautiful game plan.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: I couldn't help but watch but think while watching that
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: game of Peyton's struggles against Belichick and thinking like, this
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: is a derivative of that, Like he looked down the
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: family tree really for both with Patricia, his ties obviously
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: a connection to Belichick. So that was kind of going
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: through my mind. And all the pictures changing. I didn't
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: think he really trusted his eyes at all. But I'm
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: curious to see and I'm not making excuses for him.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: Every time.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: You guys notice every time they showed him on the sideline,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: how he was just like adjusting his shoulders the whole time,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: and everything, I'm like, is this dude hurt?
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: Like?
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: Is this something?
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: And then like some of the unnatural armslots he was
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: thrown from which looks so easy this summer, that was
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: weird looking. Yeah, I mean even the first play where
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: they're on the move, he looks so rigid and tight
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: and stiff and misses a throw by ten yards and
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: you know, so anyways, I'm not going to read too
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: much into it. I know everybody that's going to be
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: a fun fodder for everybody to, you know, take their
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: shots and do this out or the other. But I
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: didn't see enough to go strong on them before the
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: season started. I'm not going to bury him off of
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: one start. But my takeaway was two things. I don't
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: think he trusted his eyes and that was Patricia's doing.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: And then I just didn't That didn't look right, man.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: No, it didn't look right. And it's unfortunate for him.
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: And I'm gonna say this, like he can't control the
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: hype machine that is around him. Right when you have
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: that last name and you have the success that the
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: family has had at quarterback, naturally he has been put
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: on a pedestal before he's even really played a game.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: And it's not fair.
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: But in our business, when it's about the clicks and eyeballs,
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: it's easy to sell him as what we were selling
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: them prior to the game. It's unfortunate, though, that a
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: guy that came into the game with ninety five career
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: pass attempts was expected to be like a number one
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: type pick right out the gate. And no one there
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: has never been a quarterback that has taken the league
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: by stormer or the football war roll by storm without experience.
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: And so the long play on this is, let's see
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: how he continues to get better at these marketing points.
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: What does he look like midseason? What does he look
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: like end of season? What does he look like in
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: the postseason. The one thing that I have a lot
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: of trust and belief in one, he's gonna work his
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: tail off, but two so I can figure it out.
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: He'll figure out whether they need to lean more into
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: Manning or more into the running game, but he'll make
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: it where this offense rolls and arch Manning will end
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: up looking good.
• 9:28
  Speaker 6: Regardless, I would say that there is no one more
• 9:32
  Speaker 6: equipped to deal with all of the not meeting the hype,
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: not meeting expectation, not the next Manning type of conversation
• 9:45
  Speaker 6: than arch Manning just being around in like he just.
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: Doesn't care about that stuff.
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: Like he cares about his teammates, he loves Paul, he
• 9:55
  Speaker 6: cares about being, you know, a student at the.
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: University of Texas. Like there's just.
• 10:01
  Speaker 6: He's going to be fine from a mental standpoint, like
• 10:04
  Speaker 6: in dealing with all the stuff that's happening now, right
• 10:07
  Speaker 6: just as he was with all the stuff that was
• 10:08
  Speaker 6: happening before. Now he needs to play them all the stuff,
• 10:12
  Speaker 6: the mechanical stuff that you know we saw out there
• 10:15
  Speaker 6: that looked just a little bit off.
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: Now again watching him this summer, you know, I was.
• 10:20
  Speaker 6: Like that, that looks totally different. Didn't see it now,
• 10:24
  Speaker 6: Sure you got guys in your face. It's a lot
• 10:26
  Speaker 6: different than throwing shorts and T shirts. I think that's
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: that's obviously a lesson for all of us as well.
• 10:30
  Speaker 6: But he looked really good mechanically when when I caught
• 10:33
  Speaker 6: up with him this summer, I know there was some actual,
• 10:37
  Speaker 6: you know, reality to the conversation that it was a
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: tough camp. It was a tough camp for by the way,
• 10:43
  Speaker 6: Texans a pretty dang good defense too. Now, Like so
• 10:46
  Speaker 6: I think going up against those guys you know for
• 10:49
  Speaker 6: three four weeks leading into this game, you know, was
• 10:53
  Speaker 6: was was probably pretty difficult too, Probably not as difficult
• 10:57
  Speaker 6: as dealing with what he saw in the Horseshoe on Saturday.
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: But again, like you said, DJ, not ready to you know,
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: none of us here we're talking about this kid as
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: being the number one pick because none of us really
• 11:09
  Speaker 6: believe he's actually.
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: Going to come out in this year's draft.
• 11:12
  Speaker 6: So like, why would we why would we say now
• 11:14
  Speaker 6: he's not going to after one game, Like, let's let's
• 11:17
  Speaker 6: give it some time. I can only imagine how difficult
• 11:20
  Speaker 6: it was, Like seeing a Matt Patricia defense in Week
• 11:24
  Speaker 6: ten was going to be difficult for any player, in
• 11:28
  Speaker 6: any quarterback, especially one in his first year starting seeing
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: a week one with no college tape to actually assess
• 11:35
  Speaker 6: what that was going to look like. Immeasurably difficult. Now
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: he's going to have to deal with those situations better.
• 11:42
  Speaker 6: But I still thought, you know, like the touchdown throw
• 11:44
  Speaker 6: was more along the lines of what you would expect
• 11:48
  Speaker 6: from him. But yeah, the one hopper, you know, five
• 11:51
  Speaker 6: yards in front of the intended receiver on the first
• 11:53
  Speaker 6: attempt was like, look, weird and look, I bet it
• 11:57
  Speaker 6: was a little uncomfortable in a lot of ways. Like,
• 12:00
  Speaker 6: I bet it felt a little bit different, you know,
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: on game day. So let's let's see what it looks
• 12:05
  Speaker 6: like here we two before we get crazy.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I will say this on you know, as we
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: go outside that game, watching the guys over the summer,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: and we all talked about this, but I, you know,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: going to the tape of these other three quarterbacks, I
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: thought it was clear, the clear lines between them. It
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: was Leonora's Sellers, it was then nus Meyer. The gap
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: a pretty good gap. Then nus Meyer, then club Nick
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: like was kind of a distant third from me. And again,
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: not going to overreact on the good side of this
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: thing either, Buck, but Laura Sellers is a grown freaking
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: man now, And that that's what you think of when
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: you think of a top tier prospect, someone who has
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: the traits and tools you can dream on, and then
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: obviously the stuff we have relationships and you find out
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: that he's incredibly intelligent and incredibly hard working and a
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: good teammate and all that stuff checks out. That was
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: a good first uh first key ball game for him,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: And I thought Nussmeyer clearly outplayed played club.
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: Nick.
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: I thought that slot that order thing exactly the same.
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah, No, I think the thing about like Leonoris Sellers,
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: And we've talked about this when it comes to evaluating
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: quarterbacks and those things, and some people will kind of
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: point out, oh, what about Anthony Richardson the tools matter
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: at the top of the board, like, because what we're
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: doing at the top of the draft is you should
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: be envisioning this quarterback competing.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: With the likes of the Mount Rushmore.
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: What does he look like versus Pat Mahomes, Josh Allen,
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow if we're getting a shootout, does
• 13:29
  Speaker 5: he have the tools to have a legitimate chance to
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: compete in that regard? And so when you look at
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: Lenora's Sellers and you talk about superpowers, how many superpowers?
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: How many tools does he have on the tool belt
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: when we get into these shootouts, Leonora Sellers has that
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: do some of these other quarterbacks possess those kinds of
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: skills and tools and capabilities as we're projecting what they
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: could look like at the next level.
• 13:55
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, I thought, you know, Leonora's Sellers was
• 13:58
  Speaker 6: as advertised as you.
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: Guys mentioned but Garrettsmeyer, I mean, what was the thing.
• 14:03
  Speaker 6: You remember what I told you when I watched him
• 14:05
  Speaker 6: in person, DJ was right around the time that you
• 14:07
  Speaker 6: were you were going through your series.
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: This dude is everybody gravitates toward him with that too.
• 14:13
  Speaker 6: And he is a technician, right like, he is fundamentally sound.
• 14:17
  Speaker 6: He is a coaches kid. He is going to have
• 14:20
  Speaker 6: everything buttoned up on that front. And that's what that
• 14:23
  Speaker 6: looked like to me, a guy that was not going
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: to let the atmosphere there the.
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: Other death Valley.
• 14:28
  Speaker 6: You know, the fact that Club Nick's on the other
• 14:30
  Speaker 6: side affect who he is and who he wants to
• 14:32
  Speaker 6: be and the way he wants to play. That was
• 14:35
  Speaker 6: just really really impressive to me, the way he handled
• 14:38
  Speaker 6: all of that. And Yeah, I think I think that's
• 14:42
  Speaker 6: one thing that this game did prove to us that
• 14:44
  Speaker 6: that I kind of felt in the summer was that
• 14:46
  Speaker 6: I'd have No Smyer ahead of Club Nick at this point.
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought that was pretty clear.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, look, I think that that is good.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: I think the only thing that.
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: People have to get used to with Nusmyer is just like,
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: because people will talk about the size thing and it
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: is Yeah, it hasn't been as much of a factor
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: of late because we've seen look, Bryce Young win number
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: one overall, and I'm not saying that Nuts is in
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: that category, but we've kind of gone away from like
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: the physical statue being a big part of it. But
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: there's no doubt Mannusmyers spends it. And I think when
• 15:16
  Speaker 5: I wrote a report about him in the summer's just
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: talking about a guy who operates with a gunslinger's mentality
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: but has surgical precision, Like he has that ability to
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: kind of play the game on an off script, but
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: he can deliver dime after dime after diamond. I'll say
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: this wasn't even a vintage game for him. We'll see
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: better games that kind of put a stamp on what
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: he could be at the next level. It was a
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: nice start. And then for Glum, like the thing about
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: like Clemson in their passing game and him always felt
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: like he was solid. But to me, he still feels
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: more like a point guard than a scoring guard. He
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: can operate the machinery and do the stuff. I don't
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: know if he has a take over the game potential
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: take over the game traits. And when we're talking about quarterbacks,
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: at the top. Normally they exhibit those traits where they
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: can take over the game and kind of put the
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: team on their back with their talents.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: Uh just pulled it up.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: By the way, neuss Meyer in the spring officially measured
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: six oh five two oh four. So yeah, I mean
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: buck to the to the size argument there not, you know,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: not the biggest guy in the world there. But I
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: think he he's efficient, he's accurate, he's tough, he's smart,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: all that stuff. He checks a lot of those boxes.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: And they're gonna play a lot of meaningful games. LSU
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: is gonna be good. If their defense is just solid,
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: they're gonna they're gonna be in some very big stage
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: games and he'll have a chance to, uh to really
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: make a name for himself there. So anyways, that was
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: my kind of college football thoughts. Boys, Let's let's take
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: a quick pause. Let's come back. Let's knock out this
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: rookie draft, which, by the way, I'm being told I
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: have the first pick. I'll tell you why right after this.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: So I guess Commissioner Gavin just uh lobbing me the
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: first pick. Here the way this the way this works.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: We normally will do a quarterback, a you know, pass catcher,
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: be it, a tight end, a receiver, and a running back. Well,
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: we don't have enough Ricky quarterbacks at this point in
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: time of the season to incorporate them into Ricky draft.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: So we're gonna just go one tight end, one receiver,
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: one running back. All right, you got to fill those
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: three slots. I'm gonna go ahead and kick us off here.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go ahead and take my running back.
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: Running back, one receiver. That's that's okay, one tight end. Good,
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: three guys. There's enough tight ends. There's good tight ends
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: to go around. Are they attempted to go to the tight
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: end with my first pick?
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah? No, you're not like you.
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: I won't.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: All right, my my my first pick. I'm going to
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: go volume here, and I'm going to go asking gent
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: the first peck that they're going to try and get
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: him loose a little bit in this opener. So, uh, Buck,
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: I'm being told you, uh yeah, Bucky has a second pick.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: Go ahead, Buck, Oh okay, what else? That's cool.
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: I appreciate the second pick, but uh, I'm struggling. So
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: I am going to take give me t mac give
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: me Ted McMillan because he's gonna be the number one
• 18:08
  Speaker 5: receiver for the Carolina Panthers.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: And that's tough because going against my Jaguars. But I'm
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: going with t Mac.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna say that's gonna be the number one receiver.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: It was a little little uh there.
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: We'll see. We'll see after one week.

• 18:50
  Speaker 1: make it back to me. I gotta go, So I
