  Speaker 1: It's a instant reaction to a practice or showcase of talent showcase of talent or injury, tent, injury, tent, talent.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: We'll talk about it, we'll try to make sense of it.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: There's no, making sense of it there's a couple things that I liked.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: There's a couple things I didn't like, including the idea of it, but that was my right not to go um, but we'll react to it right now.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: All right, happy 420.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: It's a Saturday.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Spring is in the air.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: And.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Showcase here.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Big Showcase, I got.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Jimmy Reno watching baseball.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, live Alive baseball.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: We're going to sit here and talk about football, man, I'm going to tell you what.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: There were some positives and some negatives from the old showcase.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Well, let's go to a positive.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Toa Fili looks like even bigger.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: He looks like he's going to be a leader of the team.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's moving really well.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Just, I mean, he looks like he's going to be that weapon.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go with a positive and then turn it into a scary negative.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Maybe and that's Malik Benson Definitely a scary negative.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Looking really fast, looking good.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Had a nice catch over the shoulder.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Good throw by DJ, probably his best throw of the day.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, catch over the shoulder.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: A good throw by dj probably his best throw of the day.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: But um, then you hear mike norvell saying that best receiver of the spring right maybe on the team seeing him get rolled up on and have to go in the injury tent is not something that any fsu fan wants to see, especially at a position like wide receiver yeah, hopefully it's nothing serious, we all, then we, you know, you also saw ferguson get injured, yeah, and that could.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: That could be potentially just as serious, right, I mean, you know this ground game is going to be relied upon.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: They're going to be rotating interior linemen.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: I mean it's right, those were definitely the two.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: Just mad, that's yeah, hopefully nothing serious both out there.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's another thing I mean but yeah, just to showcase, dj um had some good, good throws, but also had some yeah, some times where he clearly looked like he's still not fully in the groove of the office, not in control, that are making assumptions right not not reading the defense and throwing it right to yeah, making, making, pre-snap determinations right right both times he did that.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: He should have been intercepted right, which will lead into the other positive.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: One time was by marvin Marvin Jones Jr, who looked really explosive.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: The limited time he was out there, yeah, and then you could see the difference.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: On Peyton Now you can hope he takes that game.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: It doesn't take away from his speed.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Hopefully it adds to his run defense and overall.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm optimistic about this starting defense.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: But yeah, the defensive line in particular looks like it could just keep rolling.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: They lost some talent, but they have the talent there to step in Up the middle.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: You have a bunch of guys that weren't even playing.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Right, right, but you like what you saw on some of the linebackers.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: I heard crier's name crier and nicholson um nicholson looked a lot bigger, you know, I heard him talking about, you know, crier being fourth team, maybe, and I start okay, well linebackers that position on defense yeah, wide receiver, there's only two out there at the well, and also you don't.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: You're looking to replace.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, all conference players.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so you got to.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: It's as much about being smart out there as anything I have really, if you can apply pressure and have the kind of seasons, hopefully, that the D line is looking forward to have, it makes the position a lot easier to play.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Thomas, is it in the secondary switch to number eight?
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he looks really good out there.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Man, I'm going to tell you what dude I liked what I saw out of Edwin Joseph I don't know how deep he is on the depth chart, but he was out there making some plays.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: Kai Bates, true freshman, I mean, he's big dude, he's a legit 6'2", it's good to see.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: And then Thomas, the tight end.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so a mega catch, and he should be in senior prom right now.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Well, a lot of guys out there.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: It was a little disappointing not to see Luke or Cam Davis out there being able to go, but again not really.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: When I look at it, I think it's better.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: I hate seeing the injuries.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: I mean it's going to be a practice anyway.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: You're going to get people hurt at practice.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Just people can see it, right.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: There's probably all kinds of stuff that happens.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: You know that you don't see.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you know that you don't see.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you know there's guys out there.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: I mentioned Cam Davis.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: I mean nobody really talks about why it is that he's not.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: You know, we still don't really know why he's not in the spring game, but assuming like he probably got dinged up in a scrimmage and they're just holding him out precautionary, I mean it could be the same thing with Benson and Ferguson.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah Well, beside the injuries, I guess, and some of the throws receiver still, I mean, poitier had a drop, he also had a nice catch, that I mean he's gonna have to step up, yeah, um, they're gonna need I would like yeah, there were a couple times williamson, I thought could have made a.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Made a snag on the ball.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Dj put the throw there.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: I haven't really seen anything out of those guys.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: They've been here for a few years.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: They've had minimal chances.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: A few touchdowns between them, but they're going to be one of those guys needs to step up this season.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they've got to be relied upon.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're going to be relied upon this year.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Especially if and who knows what's happening now with Benson.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: It was, you know, but they're going to need him to be.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Hopefully that's not anything serious, because they'll need that over-the-top threat.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Saw little flashes of Lucas.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: You can see what you know.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he definitely looks like an all-around.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: You still have Douglas, his older brother.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: And he looks.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: I'm going to tell you what Lucas looks.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: A little more durable than I expected him to look out there, a little more bowling ball-esque.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: That's good to see.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: That's probably why they moved to halfback.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Right and get him coming out like a shotgun you got some physical runners man because Zia Holmes.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, yes, His run against Shaheen Brown probably the offensive highlight, running back Williams look good, he looks really good.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: And then Toefeli looks even better than he has.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: He looks, he's looked like he's improved every year you know, and he got a few touches and that was it.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: He was done for the day.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: That's good, yeah, oh no, you don't want to risk it.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: So it's it, you know with the backup quarterbacks not being really in years past and in other programs they do more of a scrimmage type thing man, four quarters or whatever that's not what this was.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: No, um, I mean you look at doke and doke's not even really finished yet with the renovations.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: So I mean it's cool they put it on tv, but you gotta yeah, it was weird to see there's like pickup trucks backed up to the bench and the sideline.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: It's going to be something.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: There's no way that's going to be ready this season.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: The arm talent with DJ is definitely there.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: I think as he gets more comfortable in what the offense is going to look like and what's going to be available, he'll probably start to look a little sharper, more sharp, mo, sharper, mo, sharper.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: But you know know, nice little fun day, nice little Saturday man.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: We had to go.

• 8:38
  Speaker 2: was a good game.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: They're up 5-3 in the top of the eighth right now.

• 9:36
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: It just used to be a lot more of a thing, I guess in the 90s.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: But I don't know.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it still doesn't.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: It's always just been kind of a glorified practice A couple of spring game moments stand out is when you see like a new player make a big play.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: I remember it hit Jameis hitting a walk-on receiver on the sideline on a spring game.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: I was like oh wow, that's a little different.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: There was a little time there where it was like a competition to see who could draw the biggest crowd to the spring games and stuff.
• 10:10
