  Speaker 1: It's the greatest thing since new Steak Nives. My wife
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: and I got Steak Knives as a wedding gift many
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: years ago and they served us well, but recently they
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: were showing their age, so my wife got new ones
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: and I am here to tell you that the material
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: brand steak knives are tremendous. The Serious Eats website rated
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: them as the best budget friendly steak knives, and I
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: can see why. They're sleek and stylish and glide through
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: whatever you're looking to cut. They might not be as
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: sharp as the samurai swords that Joe Burrow handed out

• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Draft is two weeks away, and it's that time of
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: the year where many of us form very strong opinions
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: about guys we've barely or never seen play, and that's
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: the goal of this podcast. We are going to learn
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: about the thirteen players who have been most frequently connect
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: the Bengals and mock drafts from local experts who have
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: watched them play in person. Well go alphabetically, and the
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: first two players happen to be from the same school,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Alabama guard Tyler Booker and Crimson Tide linebacker Jahad Campbell.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: I talked about that duo in reverse order with former
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Alabama quarterback and current Crimson Tide radio analyst Tyler Watts.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Tyler Jahad Campbell let Alabama and tackle sacks and forced fumbles.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: He has described as a explosive, physical athlete. What will
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: an NFL team get in Jahad Campbell?
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: Are you universatile player?
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: A guy who can play in the box but also
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: get out and coverage. He has the length to be
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: able to fight off of blockers, but also the speed
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: to be able to get.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: Him to the perimeter.
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: So he's a tool that a lot of defenses at
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: that next level will definitely find a place to plug
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: him in. He's a workhorse. He has played through Andrew.
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: He's a lot of motivation in his background as well,
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: which always has taken into consideration. But just a really
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: good guy to the teammates obviously love him. He works hard,
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: he plays even harder, and you're right, he just goes
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: about his business.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: And we used to look up at the stat sheets.
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: At the end of all the games and say, well,
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: I guess he's leading in tackles again with ten eleven,
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: twelve tackles on the day.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: It's Geehi Campbell.
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: He's just really versatile player that can do a lot
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: of different things for defenses.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Tyler.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: You mentioned pass coverage. It's so important now in the NFL,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: and he's a big guy at two hundred and thirty
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: five pounds. How good is he in that aspect of
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: his game?
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: He was one of the better that Alabama had at
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: that level. He was asked to do a lot of
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: different things, and you're right. As offenses continue to diverse
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: in what they're able to do with personnel and especially
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: understanding who you have in your division, it's important to
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: have a kind of hybrid guy that can do multiple things,
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: and Jahad definitely has the ability to.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: He's a quick learner and he's been asked.
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: To do a couple of different roles in his college
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: career but always adjusted to him quickly. And that's pretty important,
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: I think, is just the ability to not be scared
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: to have a guy that's just a one size he
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: can only do one thing rather but just someone who
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: is willing to tack along and be asked to do
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: multiple things and takes it, you know, with a proper
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: mindset and is willing to go out there and do it.
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: But the talent is definitely there, and like we said,
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: the work ethic, just his background and what he's been through.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: He definitely wants to achieve and be the best player
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: that he can.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: He's a former defensive end. How harre his instincts as
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: a linebacker, they're good and.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: They got better as he got more into that role
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: of playing in the middle of really recognizing and being
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: in position, you know, And that's an instinct that a
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: lot of people who don't play the game don't truly understand.
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: It's not just lined up recognizing what an offense is
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: doing and then reacting to its. Certain guys just have
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: a better feel than others of where the balls go
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: and where people are, how to keep their feet clean,
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: how to keep guys staying off of them, And joh
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: definitely did improve in that area as he got more comfortable.
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: And I think that there's a learning curve anytime that
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: you're plugging somebody into a new system or.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: A new team. It's just it takes time.
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: But how quickly can you get up that and learn
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: your role and do it well and effectively is important.
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: Joha definitely showed improvement from year one to year two
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: because last year was a transition year was an entirely
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: new defense that they were running, going from Nick Saban
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: to what the new coaching staff under Killing de Bor
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: was asking him to do.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: But he adjusted and stepped into that role and took
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: it head off.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: The status of one of the Bengals starting linebackers, Jermaine Pratt,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: is up in the air. He's a possible cap casualty
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: he's requested to trade as a result. Is Jahad ready
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: to start for a good NFL team on day one?
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: That's a great question.
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: Is anybody really ready to start both mentally emotionally.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: Physically. I think yes. I think that he fits.
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: The mold of what a lot of other NFL defensive
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: personnel possess.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: I mean, he's a physical guy that can run around.
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: I think you're always concerned about the mental aspect of
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: it because so much, I mean, that's all y'all do
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: at that level is football, and that could be an
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: advantage for him though not having the other distractions of
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: having to kind of balance life allow in school along
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: with football, but just being solely focused on the.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: Football aspect of it.
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: He definitely is intelligent enough to be able to step
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: into that role. I'm sure that there's always limitations with
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: any rookie that you're relying on.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: However, I think that he.
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: Does possess a lot of the characteristics that you're looking
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: for that make you feel comfortable about plugging him into
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: a position like that.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: The other Alabama player being linked to Cincinnati in the
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: first round of mock drafts his guard, Tyler Booker. He
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: was the left guard for Alabama the last couple of years.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: He's a big man nearly six five weighs three twenty plus,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: long arms, big hands. Described Tyler Booker, I think.
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: Every quarterback who has ever played at any level would
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: love to have five dollar Bookers across the front.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: This guy is physical.
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: He is an emotional leader, a ton of personality and
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: emotion and just energy and he's a fun guy to watch.
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: I used to love calling him out on the radio broadcast.
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: Who's winning the first five plays?
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: He was going to be drive blocking.
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: A linebacker, a defensive end, you know, twenty yards down
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: the field, and then trying to continue to get that
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: pancake block. It's just a ball of energy who approaches
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: the game the right way. Incredible locker room, got tons
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: of personality.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: I mean, he's what you want in an offensive lineman.
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: And the fact that he's not lazy, He works hard
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: and he wants to improve his every single day. I
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: think that every franchise in the league would love to
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: have Tyler Booker on the roster.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Well, you are a former quarterback, so that is a
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: rave review. Job Number one in Cincinnati is obviously protecting
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Joe Burrow is past protection his strength and were there
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: any types of rushers that gave him trouble?
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: You know, he really did a nice job on that
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: interior line. And of course playing guard is always beneficial.
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: You're not as on an island quite as much as
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: you are at the tackle positions. But he always did
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: a really nice job with the twists and the stunts
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: and the games that were played up front of making
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: sure that he was protecting the quarterback. We saw very
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: few pressures up the middle last season in the backfield
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: at Alabama, a lot of pressure came on the edges.
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: So yeah, I mean, once again, there's a learning curve
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: for every rookie, regardless of what position that you're playing.
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: But the more snaps you get under your belt, the
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: more experience you have, more times you view all these
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: different packages that defenses have, then you definitely have a
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: better chance of winning those matchups. But it still comes
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: down to personnel and personnel. And he's a physical guy.
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: He moves his feet will he's good in space, and
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: a lot of those characteristics I know are what makes
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: successful offenses at the next level.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: You're always dependent on those guys upfront. Skill.
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: Guys always are making the plays, but it's how well
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: can you protect and create holes up front that really
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: drive your success. And Tyler Booker is good. I mean
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: he's good in all the phases. Good in space, good
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: in the tackle box, good and run blocking. So he'd
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: be a huge kit.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Tyler Wats is our guest. The Bengals love drafting team captains.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Tyler was one. Sometimes the best player in the team
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: is just automatically named the captain. But based on some
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: of the things you said earlier, it sounds like his
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: leadership qualities really stood out.
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: And that was so important as we transition from coach
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: Shaban to coach to Boor and it was a big
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: question mark. A lot of guys have the ability to leave,
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: but was seniors like Tyler Booker who maintained that locker
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: room and kept the guys in check and said, let's
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: finish what we started together. And he had even made
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: a comment along the way that he had bounced around
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: a lot at the high school level, played at multiple programs,
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: and even referenced on several occasions that Alabama was the
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: longest he had ever stayed in one place, and he
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: appreciated that he felt like it was home and he
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: wanted everyone else to understand how special of a place
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: it was. So just a huge presence in the locker
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: room of keeping guys focused and motivated on what their
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: main goal was and making sure that he challenged the
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: fellows across the ball from him to get better on
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: a daily basis.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: If you had to forecast his NFL future, what will
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: it look like?
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: But with so much of it depends on systems in
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: front office and things.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: Of that nature at that level.
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: But I know he possesses all the skill set that
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: made for successful offensive linemen, and I think that he
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: can have a really good career because he's not going
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: to You're gonna get it frustrated if things don't go well.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: It's just gonna work harder.
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: And I think that that's the first thing that you're
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: wanting to look for, is not someone who's looking for
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: an easy ride, but a worker who could fight through
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: paying fight through challenges, and just continue to try to improve.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: Because he loves the guys that he plays with.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: Fox Sports draft expert Rob rang has the Bengals taking
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Booker in his latest mock, and Campbell was mel Kiper's
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: most recent pick. The athletics draft guru Dan Brugler has
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Booker ranked number twenty four overall in his top one
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: hundred and Campbell number fourteen. The NFL Networks Daniel Jeremiah
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: has Booker number twenty overall and Campbell way up there
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: at number nine. Up next, South Carolina safety Nick Emon Worri.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: He's number seventeen on the Brugler list and number fifteen
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: on Jeremiah's rankings.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: Here's J. C.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Sherbert, the co host of the Inside the Gamecock Show.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Nick Emon Warri ran a four to three eight forty
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: at the combine. He brought jumped in insane eleven six
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: and he's a big guy six three, two twenty. What's
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: an NFL team getting if it drafts Nick Emon Warri?
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: Well, I think, like you said, he's the freak. Athleticism
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: really jumps out.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: Cam Chancellor is a player the South Carolina defensive backs coach.
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: Tory and Gray coached at Virginia Tech, and he also
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: coached Nick at South Carolina and they're very similar types
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: of players. You don't find guys like this at safety
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: very often, just with the size athleticism combo that Nick possesses.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: But I'll also say this, he's not.
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: You know, some guys are really athletic, and you know,
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: the football part of it's very average, you know, particularly
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: when it comes to with taller safeties sticking their neck
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: in and sticking their head in and making tackles.
• 12:57
  Speaker 6: And Nick is an elite tackler.
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: He gets leverage, he's a hard hitter, he's a willing
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: guy to stick his nose in there. A very tough
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: football player, you know, almost a throwback in this futuristic
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: elite athletes body in that regard. And then his ball
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: skills really came home this year with regards to being
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: able to break on the ball, to get the man
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: coverage and cover a fast receiver, you know, all the
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: things you look for in a guy that can create
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: turnovers and defend the pass. Nick has and he's learned
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: through the years how to use that length that he
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: has to his advantage in the past game as well.
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: You know, that's part of the development process he went
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: through at South Carolina.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: The Bengals love drafting team captains, and Nick was one
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: at South Carolina. Describe what you observed in terms of
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: his leadership and work ethic.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: He's a guy that.
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: Really, you know, set the example for a lot of
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: younger players in the program with how he worked at it,
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: how he competed every time he got on the field,
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: how you know, the toughness that he plays with when
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: he's in games. You know, he's not a guy that
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: takes plays off, not a guy.
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: That's you know, pulls up and you.
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: Know, even in games that Carolina would may have lost
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: if he's out there on the field competing, he's competing.
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: You know, He's not a guy that you know, loafs
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: or or anything like that. So that the leadership portion
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: of it, you know, is really by example and sets
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: the tone with how he plays the game each and
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: every snap.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Do you see him primarily as a center fielder type
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: running sideline to sideline or better suited to play closer
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: to the line of scrimmage.
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: You know, I think he's a guy that could do both,
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: and that's the beauty of him. You know, I mentioned
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: he's very good in the box against the run. I
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: don't think he's a guy that you look at and
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: go linebacker long term. I know, you know, some some
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: amateur scouts kind of saw that about him when he
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: got to South Carolina, and you know, outside people were, oh,
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: he probably a linebacker one day. I don't see that,
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: but I definitely think in a nickel position or a
• 15:14
  Speaker 5: position that does play close to the line of scrimmage,
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: he's more than capable, probably even very good at that.
• 15:21
  Speaker 6: But he also can cover, he can get man coverage,
• 15:24
  Speaker 6: and he can.
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: Be that center field or I think it really depends
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: on the scheme and the personnel of the franchise.
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: The beauty of him.
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: Is his versatility, and that sounds strange, you know for
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: a safety that's got that kind of freaky athleticism and measurables,
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: because a lot of times those guys are either or guys,
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: but Nick can do both.
• 15:47
  Speaker 6: I just think it kind of depends on how he.
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: Fits in with the team, but certainly, you know, I
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: think he can thrive in either environment.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: How about that, jac I'm going to wrap this up
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: by asking you to peer into the future. What kind
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: of role do you think he's ready to play as
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: a rookie and what kind of NFL career do you
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: anticipate for Nick Eman Warren.
• 16:09
  Speaker 5: Well, you know, the guys like Nick that love football
• 16:13
  Speaker 5: and they compete every play tend to have good in
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: a careers if they stay healthy. Of course, the injuries
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: are part of the game. As a rookie, I think
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: when you're talking about the complexities of an NFL system,
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: he did play, you know, a somewhat complicated defense of
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: South Carona, but it's always It's not like he came
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: out and played for Nick Saban and Alabama, where you
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: have a ton of checks and reads and all that
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: good stuff, you know, under Clayton White of South Carolina.
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: So I would think initially, you know, if I were
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: drafting him, depending on who else I have that playing
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: closer to the line of scrimmage, because of his size
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: and his tackling ability and his willingness to tackle the
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: run game, that would probably be the role as a
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: freshman or sorry, as a rookie I would start off with.
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: But in time, you know, he can do just about anything.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Ryan Wilson, a draft expert for CBS Sports, has the
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: Bengals picking Emon Warre in his latest mock and Bengals
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: beat reporter Paul Dayner junior from the Athletic called Emon
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Worri and the previously mentioned Tyler Booker as good first
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: round fits in a story he wrote this week. Up next,
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: alphabetically Michigan defensive tackle Kenneth Grant, a six', four three
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: hundred and thirty pound moose who played nose tackle and
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: three technique for The. Wolverines after Taking Chris jenkins in
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: the second round last, year could The bengals take his
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: former teammate in the first round this? Year here's FORMER
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: nfl offensive Lineman John, jansen the radio analyst On michigan football.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: Broadcasts he's got a lot of.
• 17:54
  Speaker 7: Upside he's a guy that could go in there and
• 17:57
  Speaker 7: contribute right, away BUT i think his best year are
• 18:00
  Speaker 7: going to, be you, know, two, three, four and five
• 18:03
  Speaker 7: down the, road because there's still a lot that he
• 18:06
  Speaker 7: needs to work.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: On and when he.
• 18:08
  Speaker 7: Was making the decision of whether to make that jump
• 18:12
  Speaker 7: to THE nfl or to come back for another, year
• 18:15
  Speaker 7: that was part Of he's very aware of, that which
• 18:17
  Speaker 7: leads you to believe that if he is aware of
• 18:20
  Speaker 7: his weaknesses going into THE, nfl.
• 18:22
  Speaker 8: He's addressing those.
• 18:24
  Speaker 7: Already some of it's pad, level some of it's just
• 18:27
  Speaker 7: technique that he's willing to put the time and effort into.
• 18:31
  Speaker 7: Doing but you, know he is he's a, monster and
• 18:35
  Speaker 7: he's got an unreal athletic ability for, it being as
• 18:40
  Speaker 7: big as he. Is AND i know one of the
• 18:42
  Speaker 7: highlights that there they'll will show whenever he's taken off
• 18:45
  Speaker 7: the board is his ability twenty five yards down the
• 18:49
  Speaker 7: field to run down one of The Penn state running.
• 18:52
  Speaker 8: Backs he's just he's, big.
• 18:55
  Speaker 7: He's, Powerful he's a little bit, Raw but the upside
• 19:00
  Speaker 7: is is certainly.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: There he's three hundred thirty. Pounds is it a good
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: three thirty or could his weight be a concern going? Forward?
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: OH i.
• 19:09
  Speaker 7: DON'T i don't see his weight being a. Concern AND
• 19:12
  Speaker 7: i mean he's so, young And i've got a you,
• 19:14
  Speaker 7: know different perspective now that That i'm you, know no
• 19:17
  Speaker 7: longer playing And i've seen guys come and go and
• 19:20
  Speaker 7: how they change their bodies being in THE. Nfl if
• 19:22
  Speaker 7: he plays his entire career at three, thirty.
• 19:26
  Speaker 8: He'll he'll be a beast in the weight room and you,
• 19:31
  Speaker 8: know continue to, grow continue to.
• 19:33
  Speaker 7: Develop but, yeah he's not a he's not a sloppy
• 19:36
  Speaker 7: three thirty.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: The bengals are looking for an interior pass. Rush does
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: he consistently push the pocket or is he more of
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: a run.
• 19:43
  Speaker 6: Stopper?
• 19:44
  Speaker 8: Oh, no he can push the.
• 19:45
  Speaker 7: Pocket and one of the great things about him, is
• 19:49
  Speaker 7: especially if If trey ends, up.
• 19:51
  Speaker 8: You, know playing for The bengals next, YEAR i think
• 19:54
  Speaker 8: he's a great one two. Punch not only can.
• 19:56
  Speaker 7: He push the pocket by swim spin and you, know
• 20:00
  Speaker 7: elite get, off he does a great job of working
• 20:04
  Speaker 7: with other defensive linemen and setting up twists and whether
• 20:08
  Speaker 7: it's et, te he.
• 20:09
  Speaker 8: Works really well in that.
• 20:11
  Speaker 7: Situation and and so you compare him with a guy
• 20:14
  Speaker 7: Like Trey hendrickson and really do some. Damage but if
• 20:18
  Speaker 7: he doesn't get home and and he's just relying on brute,
• 20:22
  Speaker 7: force he's got such a. Wingspan one of the great
• 20:25
  Speaker 7: attributes he gave This michigan team was being able to
• 20:27
  Speaker 7: bat balls down so he.
• 20:29
  Speaker 8: Can get after the.
• 20:30
  Speaker 7: Quarterback if he doesn't get, home he could still affect
• 20:33
  Speaker 7: passes and passing lanes by getting some of those big paws.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: Up last, thing what what type of long term future
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: do you see For Kenneth.
• 20:41
  Speaker 7: OH i think he's a guy that's going to play
• 20:43
  Speaker 7: a decade or, longer and he could develop into A
• 20:47
  Speaker 7: Pro bowl caliber defensive. Tackle Jim harbaugh when he was
• 20:51
  Speaker 7: here mentioned it at the. Time he's you look at,
• 20:55
  Speaker 7: him you see, him and you see all the physical.
• 20:57
  Speaker 7: Traits he really Is god's gift of. FOOTBALL i, mean
• 21:01
  Speaker 7: he could be an elite defender on the. Inside it's
• 21:05
  Speaker 7: going to take some time to get, there but that's the.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: Potential Connor, rodgers a draft expert FROM Nbc, sports has
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: The bengals Picking, grant whose number twenty five overall according
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: To brugler and number thirty according To Jeremiah. Up, next
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: edge Defender Mike green From. Marshall here's the voice of
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: The Thundering, Herd Steve. Cotton Steve Mike green led THE
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: fbs with seventeen sacks this. Year describe what made him
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: so dominant for The Thundering Herd.
• 21:36
  Speaker 9: Well he played two years At, marshall one in largely
• 21:40
  Speaker 9: a backup.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: Role dan came off the pine on.
• 21:43
  Speaker 9: Pass rush, situations that kind of, thing and then became
• 21:47
  Speaker 9: a star this. Year, Now, marshall his previous year had
• 21:51
  Speaker 9: some betteran defensive ends who were among the school's all
• 21:54
  Speaker 9: time leaders in several of those categories sacks and whatever,
• 21:59
  Speaker 9: included so he had to bide his.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: Time he didn't get.
• 22:02
  Speaker 9: Frustrated he knew we all knew that he was an
• 22:07
  Speaker 9: unbelievable pass. Rusher you watch him just go through a
• 22:10
  Speaker 9: few minutes of pass.
• 22:11
  Speaker 6: Rush rills and dan he is lightning.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: Quick that was never a.
• 22:15
  Speaker 9: Question as you got into this season and you he
• 22:19
  Speaker 9: was going to be called upon to be out there
• 22:22
  Speaker 9: for every. Down is he good enough against the run
• 22:27
  Speaker 9: to be a superstar kind of.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: Player or what's it going to be like when.
• 22:31
  Speaker 9: He's getting the attention and the double team and people
• 22:34
  Speaker 9: chipping him all the. Time and he more than stepped
• 22:37
  Speaker 9: up for all of. That he had one of the
• 22:39
  Speaker 9: most amazing. Years you mentioned number one in the nation
• 22:44
  Speaker 9: in sacks and tackles for, loss but maybe if you
• 22:48
  Speaker 9: dig a little deeper you notice even. More his tackle
• 22:52
  Speaker 9: for loss yards were thirty yards more than number two
• 22:56
  Speaker 9: in the. Nation his quarterback sack yards party two more
• 23:00
  Speaker 9: than anybody else in the.
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: Nation he is a big play.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: Guy that's good. Stuff he lacks ideal. Size he's six,
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: three two fifty. One do you see that being at
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: least a concern at the next?
• 23:13
  Speaker 9: Level it was my concern SOMETHING i wonder. About, now
• 23:19
  Speaker 9: it's one, play but he went viral at The Senior
• 23:22
  Speaker 9: bowl when he Steamrolled oregon offensive Tackled Josh connery and
• 23:27
  Speaker 9: you know three hundred pounder who is showing up in
• 23:30
  Speaker 9: the first round in Several mott, drafts and he just
• 23:33
  Speaker 9: ran right over him playing with. Him, now that's one,
• 23:35
  Speaker 9: play but all year long he was matched up with
• 23:40
  Speaker 9: those great big guys and he held his own. Physically
• 23:45
  Speaker 9: now he made a lot of hay when they try
• 23:47
  Speaker 9: to go one on, one not many did early in the.
• 23:50
  Speaker 9: Year if you want to anybody who wants to go
• 23:52
  Speaker 9: look just you can do an internet search Of mike
• 23:55
  Speaker 9: green sack Versus Ohio, state and you see his ability
• 23:59
  Speaker 9: in the open. Field they tried to go one on
• 24:01
  Speaker 9: one with him and he went around another, Guy Josh, Fryer.
• 24:05
  Speaker 9: Ohio say it's pretty good tackles and got to the.
• 24:08
  Speaker 9: QUARTERBACK i don't know that prior much more.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: Than Touchdam and you can also go look if you
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: are that.
• 24:16
  Speaker 9: Interested at The Virginia tech, Game marshall played at or In,
• 24:20
  Speaker 9: blacksburg and he had a couple of sacks in that
• 24:23
  Speaker 9: game that really show the motor AND i think this
• 24:26
  Speaker 9: was maybe the thing that you come to appreciate watching
• 24:28
  Speaker 9: him day in and day. Out they were plays where
• 24:31
  Speaker 9: he was double, teamed he got knocked away from the,
• 24:34
  Speaker 9: play but then the quarterback starts, scrambling and he never
• 24:38
  Speaker 9: gave up on.
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: It one he got knocked off his feet still ends
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: up making a. Sack so it's. Constant it's the. Motor
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: he didn't get frustrated.
• 24:47
  Speaker 9: When most of the year he's the guy who's being double,
• 24:49
  Speaker 9: teamed and he still came, up like we, said seventeen
• 24:52
  Speaker 9: sacks most of.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: The, nation even though he had all that attention focused on.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: Him we're visiting With Marshall, Boys Steve. Cotton mike started Out.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: Virginia he had an assault allegation there that he denied
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: at the. Combine he wasn't prosecuted for. It his coaches
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: At virginia And marshall apparently give him strong character. Grades
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: what did you observe from dealing with him over the
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: past two.
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: Seasons absolutely no.
• 25:17
  Speaker 9: Problems not the first issue at all in dealing with
• 25:21
  Speaker 9: him every week this, year he was requested by the,
• 25:25
  Speaker 9: media you, know you got a guy who's going to
• 25:28
  Speaker 9: be An All american, so and he was the first
• 25:31
  Speaker 9: one to arrive for the weekly.
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: Interview session during the week after the, game good, game bad,
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: game win or.
• 25:39
  Speaker 9: Loss he shows, up steps, up and he's a very thoughtful.
• 25:43
  Speaker 9: Guy it's not the easy cliche answer With. Mike he
• 25:47
  Speaker 9: asked the question and he might pause for a few
• 25:49
  Speaker 9: seconds and then he gets you something that's a little
• 25:51
  Speaker 9: more than you get.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: Most of the.
• 25:52
  Speaker 9: Time and you, know by week, ten, twelve thirteen in
• 25:57
  Speaker 9: the season that's getting kind of.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: Old but he was always.
• 26:00
  Speaker 9: There with a smile on his face and was a
• 26:03
  Speaker 9: top notch guy as far AS i was concerned in
• 26:06
  Speaker 9: anything he dealt with on the media side of.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: Things If Trey hendrickson stays with The bengals And Mike
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: green is on the opposite side of the defensive, line
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: what would you expect for his impact on The bengals pass?
• 26:18
  Speaker 9: RUSH i, think and again there's a question the. Size
• 26:23
  Speaker 9: is he a first, down second down guy and he
• 26:26
  Speaker 9: defended the run very well this, year AND i think
• 26:28
  Speaker 9: at the senior bowlt that's where he saw his stock
• 26:31
  Speaker 9: rise because Of bill saw what he would do against some.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: Of the best offensive.
• 26:35
  Speaker 9: Linemens but when it's third and eight and you need
• 26:39
  Speaker 9: a pass. Rush that's a GUY i would like out.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: There you're talking about The.
• 26:42
  Speaker 9: Bengals, Dan i'm A michigan Or i'm a Lifelong lions,
• 26:46
  Speaker 9: fan and when the season, ENDED i, Thought, WOW i
• 26:49
  Speaker 9: wonder if he could drop down to you, know twenty
• 26:51
  Speaker 9: eight to thirty where The lions might have a. Chance
• 26:53
  Speaker 9: and all of a, sudden there's absolutely no opportunity to
• 26:56
  Speaker 9: line him up Opposite Aiden. Hutchinson so maybe you have
• 26:59
  Speaker 9: a good opportunity to for the double barrel pass.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: Rush several mock drafters have The bengals taking, green including
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: the Athletics Nick. Baumgarter he's number ten on The Buglar
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: top one hundred And jeremiah has him at number twenty.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: One up next or, again defensive Tackle Derek. Harmon he's
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: number sixteen On Burglar's top one hundred and number twenty
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: three On jeremiah's. List Here's Oregon ducks Expert Rob. Moseley.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: Rob according To Pro Football, focus no interior lineman put
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: more pressure on the quarterback last year Than Derek harmon
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: fifty five, pressures eleven more than any other defensive. Tackle
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: Described derek and what makes him a Handful when you.
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: Look at production like, THAT i, think and how it came.
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: About two words coming to My one is.
• 27:49
  Speaker 10: ATHLETICISM i, mean he's just really explosively athletic and so
• 27:54
  Speaker 10: really able to get off the ball, quick you, know
• 27:56
  Speaker 10: slice through the, line you, know try to be double
• 27:59
  Speaker 10: teams that, way or you, know uses a array of
• 28:02
  Speaker 10: moves one on one to beat guys.
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: Down and the other thing is he's just.
• 28:06
  Speaker 10: RELENTLESS i, mean the guy just goes and goes and,
• 28:08
  Speaker 10: goes and so you, know you combine those two things
• 28:12
  Speaker 10: and it just really made him a tear in the
• 28:14
  Speaker 10: middle of the. Line you, know he's just a one
• 28:16
  Speaker 10: year guy here obviously At, oregon but, absolutely you, know
• 28:20
  Speaker 10: met the, expectations if not exceeded.
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: Them for what The ducks are looking for in the
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: middle of their line last.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: Year from What i've, read his weight has fluctuated over the.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: Years apparently he was about three hundred and fifty pounds
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: at the start of his college. Career have you heard
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: anything that would lead you to believe that conditioning might
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: be a. CONCERN i have.
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: Not you, know, again you KNOW i was only around, him.
• 28:42
  Speaker 10: You, know one, year and really that just means a few.
• 28:45
  Speaker 10: Months SO i don't really have a great sense for.
• 28:47
  Speaker 10: THAT i, mean he is a guy who he's a
• 28:50
  Speaker 10: little bit top heavy in his. Build you, know he's
• 28:52
  Speaker 10: a guy when he first walked up to, him there's
• 28:54
  Speaker 10: a guy with much bigger, bases but it doesn't seem
• 28:58
  Speaker 10: to impact him on the field at. All the fact
• 29:00
  Speaker 10: that he's you, know he doesn't have maybe quite as
• 29:02
  Speaker 10: wide a base as some other.
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: Guys, yeah COULD i COULD i.
• 29:06
  Speaker 10: See his top half fluctuating a little, bit, sure but
• 29:10
  Speaker 10: you know that could depend too on what what kind
• 29:12
  Speaker 10: of a role he wants him to play and what
• 29:14
  Speaker 10: makes the most sense for the side he plays.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: At from what you've heard and. Observed how is his
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: attitude and leadership?
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: Qualities, uh definitely from WHAT i could, tell more of
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: a quiet reserve.
• 29:26
  Speaker 10: GUY i, MEAN i think a lot Of dvinman Interior
• 29:29
  Speaker 10: devinment tend to be that way, anyway kind of the
• 29:31
  Speaker 10: strength silotypes in my, experience you, Know and again a
• 29:36
  Speaker 10: guy who came in just for a. Year this is
• 29:38
  Speaker 10: An oregon team that had some established. Leadership particularly you,
• 29:42
  Speaker 10: know we had a linebacker Named Jeff bossa who had
• 29:45
  Speaker 10: who was a senior last year and is now looking
• 29:48
  Speaker 10: to be a prospect. Himself who Was he was really the.
• 29:50
  Speaker 10: Voice he was the quarterback of the, defense AND i
• 29:53
  Speaker 10: think everybody looked at him to be that. Guy SO i,
• 29:55
  Speaker 10: think particularly a one year guy Like Derek, harmon wasn't
• 29:57
  Speaker 10: going to come in and be asked or expected to
• 30:00
  Speaker 10: really have a major. Voice but you, know a guy
• 30:02
  Speaker 10: who just went to work set the tone, again was
• 30:05
  Speaker 10: relentless in his work ethic and so you know that
• 30:08
  Speaker 10: that can be a leadership quality there as.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: Well it sounded like he missed a few, Tackles was
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: that what you? Observed you, know.
• 30:16
  Speaker 10: This was an organ team that didn't do a whole
• 30:18
  Speaker 10: lot of, That so that didn't really jump out of.
• 30:20
  Speaker 10: Me you, KNOW i don't attrack things as closely as, like,
• 30:22
  Speaker 10: yeah like a pro football focused so. There you, know
• 30:25
  Speaker 10: there might be some data out there that suggests, that
• 30:28
  Speaker 10: but you, KNOW i didn't watch this team or this
• 30:30
  Speaker 10: player last year and think that was a major glaring.
• 30:34

• 31:37
  Speaker 1: few Mocks Michigan's Will. Johnson once. Again Here's wolverine's radio

• 32:12
  Speaker 7: which has that aggressive style.
• 32:14
  Speaker 8: Has led to some.
• 32:14
  Speaker 7: Injuries so there's a lot that you physically get from,
• 32:18
  Speaker 7: him and on the on the mental side of, things
• 32:21
  Speaker 7: he is one of the most prepared individuals That i've
• 32:24
  Speaker 7: ever been around in regards to just making sure that
• 32:28
  Speaker 7: he understands, formations personnel, groups, motions how that affects, him
• 32:33
  Speaker 7: what is.
• 32:34
  Speaker 8: Coming and you.
• 32:34
  Speaker 7: Look at a couple of the pick sixes he had this,
• 32:36
  Speaker 7: year it was like he was standing in their. Huddle
• 32:39
  Speaker 7: he knew what was. Happening he baided the, quarterbacks and
• 32:42
  Speaker 7: he made some. Plays the question is going to be
• 32:45
  Speaker 7: how durable is? He and and that's the question that
• 32:49
  Speaker 7: really only he can answer or the doctors that that
• 32:54
  Speaker 7: that treated him over the past couple of. Years he's
• 32:57
  Speaker 7: never played a full season in Ann, arbor but but
• 33:00
  Speaker 7: when he's on the, field he is one hundred percent
• 33:03
  Speaker 7: a difference.
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: Maker how does he compare To Dax hill AND Dj
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: turner in terms of his readiness to play right?
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: Away? Oh he.
• 33:12
  Speaker 8: IS i, mean if.
• 33:13
  Speaker 7: He's, healthy you put him on the field and you
• 33:15
  Speaker 7: forget about. Him he's a day one. Starter he's got you,
• 33:19
  Speaker 7: know he's GOT nfl, speed he's GOT nfl strength and.
• 33:23
  Speaker 7: Size he's got the confidence to go in, there and
• 33:27
  Speaker 7: a lot of that preparation plays into his. Confidence but
• 33:30
  Speaker 7: he's a guy THAT i would expect to be, your you,
• 33:33
  Speaker 7: know number one or number two corner as soon as
• 33:36
  Speaker 7: that season.
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: STARTS i read one scout who said he reminds him
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: Of patrick Sir, tan which is legitimate praise considering he
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: was THE Nfl Defensive player of The year last. Year
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: do you see him being an ELITE nfl corner or
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: somebody that you know you can pretty much rely on
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: to be one of your top two corners going.
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: FORWARD i think you.
• 34:00
  Speaker 7: CAN i don't know that you can ever sit there
• 34:02
  Speaker 7: and say a kid coming out of college that you can.
• 34:04
  Speaker 8: Rely on them to be an elite.
• 34:06
  Speaker 7: Corner he's got every tool that you would need to
• 34:10
  Speaker 7: be a certain type of, player AND i think the
• 34:13
  Speaker 7: one thing that people don't realize with because he is
• 34:16
  Speaker 7: a little bit of a longer. Corner when he's, running
• 34:19
  Speaker 7: you don't really get a true idea of how fast he.
• 34:23
  Speaker 7: Is and when he's on the field a lot of
• 34:27
  Speaker 7: times he's one of the fastest, players if not the fastest.
• 34:29
  Speaker 7: Players so he can Cover Mandon, man he can be
• 34:33
  Speaker 7: a right step per step with all those speedy, receivers
• 34:36
  Speaker 7: and if he has a ball in his hands and
• 34:38
  Speaker 7: he's in the.
• 34:38
  Speaker 8: Open, field no one's going to catch.
• 34:40
  Speaker 7: Him SO i do see him as a guy that
• 34:41
  Speaker 7: has that certain type of.
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: Potential johnson is number eighteen on The Burglar top one
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: hundred and number fourteen On Daniel jeremiah's. List another defensive
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: tackle that's frequently been mocked to The bengals Is Walter
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: nolan from Ole, miss number thirty one on The brugler.
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: Line it's been a little higher at number twenty eight For.
• 35:02

• 35:14
  Speaker 1: where he had six and a half sacks and was
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: a Consensus All. American give us your description Of walter
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: after watching him play four.
• 35:22
  Speaker 6: That's my description Of walter every day in.
• 35:25
  Speaker 12: Practice it seems like there would be a video of
• 35:27
  Speaker 12: him Basically Reggie, whiting some college offensive lineman off the.
• 35:32
  Speaker 12: Field he's got all the mobility and all the intangibles
• 35:36
  Speaker 12: that go with defensive, linemen but his strength is what's
• 35:40
  Speaker 12: going to make him a lot of money at the next.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: LEVEL i Love Reggie whiting as an. Adjective is his
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: motor consistent or does he turn it on and?
• 35:49
  Speaker 12: Off he played really hard this. Year he had a
• 35:51
  Speaker 12: reputation when he came To Ole miss.
• 35:53
  Speaker 9: As somebody that took plays.
• 35:55
  Speaker 6: Off he didn't really see.
• 35:57
  Speaker 12: That At Old, miss and at times he was completely
• 35:59
  Speaker 12: domin it and the other team's offensive line they were
• 36:03
  Speaker 12: just limited in what they could, do and that was
• 36:05
  Speaker 12: because of That Ole miss defensive line Of Walter nowen
• 36:08
  Speaker 12: right next to A Prince leamont Miel and those two
• 36:11
  Speaker 12: together kind of were Nice Batman robin.
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: Combination but the success that he.
• 36:16
  Speaker 6: HADN'T i don't think he took stuff.
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: Off The bengals are looking for an interior pass, rush
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: would he provide?
• 36:24
  Speaker 12: It, yes, absolutely he is somebody that does something every
• 36:29
  Speaker 12: time you watch him that is just going to be
• 36:31
  Speaker 12: new and jump off the. Page really great player and
• 36:34
  Speaker 12: an excellent ambassador for whatever program he's attached. With he
• 36:38
  Speaker 12: was a fan favorite In, Oxford mississippi when he was
• 36:42
  Speaker 12: there for his.
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: Year and at this POINT i can't figure.
• 36:44
  Speaker 12: Out why he wasn't more productive as a freshman and
• 36:48
  Speaker 12: a sophomore At TEXAS A and m.
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: All, Right i'm glad you said that because he's well.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: Traveled he played in three high schools in a couple of.
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: Colleges is that a red flag at? All or are
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: you hearing any other character type concerns That bengals fan
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: should be aware.
• 37:04
  Speaker 12: Of bengals fans shouldn't worry about character at all when
• 37:07
  Speaker 12: it comes To Walton. Nowen when he went through high,
• 37:10
  Speaker 12: school it was at the very beginning of THE nil,
• 37:14
  Speaker 12: period and that was just starting in college, football and
• 37:17
  Speaker 12: he ended up bouncing around in high schools and all,
• 37:20
  Speaker 12: that mainly because colleges were trying to position themselves in his.
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: Recruitment and in the.
• 37:27
  Speaker 12: End The Olive, Branch mississippi kid came home To, Oxford.
• 37:29
  Speaker 12: Mississippi Allive branch is about an hour away From. Oxford
• 37:33
  Speaker 12: that last move was more about coming home than anything.
• 37:35
  Speaker 12: Else and LIKE i, said he was a fan favorite Around, Oxford.
• 37:39
  Speaker 12: Mississippi and when he's, comfortable he's really.
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: Good he's three hundred. Pounds any worry about how he'll
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: stand up TO nfl power as an interior, Alignment, NO
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: i think.
• 37:51
  Speaker 12: His strength makes up for his weight a little. Bit
• 37:53
  Speaker 12: And i'm sure he's going to put on a little
• 37:55
  Speaker 12: bit of. Weight and once he gets into the league
• 37:56
  Speaker 12: and gets in that consistent strength program that is kind
• 38:00
  Speaker 12: of known for in creating defensive, LINEMEN i think that
• 38:03
  Speaker 12: strength until then will be a nice bridge against the.
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: Run and he is.
• 38:08
  Speaker 12: He's a dancing bear a little. Bit as far as
• 38:11
  Speaker 12: his feet going around on the defensive, line pass rush
• 38:15
  Speaker 12: is not going to be a.
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: Problem Steven willis from The Lockdown Ole miss podcast is our.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: Guest the draft is hard to. Project what kind OF
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: nfl career do you Expect walter to have both short
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: term and long? Run?
• 38:28
  Speaker 12: Listen ole miss has twelve players that have some semblance
• 38:32
  Speaker 12: of draft buzz this, Year but if you told me
• 38:35
  Speaker 12: one player off of Ole missus roster became the superstar
• 38:39
  Speaker 12: in THE nfl in this class Is Walter.
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: Nolan early in the mock draft, process it seemed Like
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: Walter nolan was frequently going to The bengals In round.
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: One that hasn't been the case as much, recently although
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: he was the pick in a Recent Pro Football focus.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: Mock we're a little more than halfway through the, list
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: and here's a quick reminder that The Bengals booth podcast

• 39:21
  Speaker 1: pierce From, tennessee number thirty six on The Brugler top
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: one hundred and number twenty six according To. Jeremiah Here's Brent,
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: hubbs the publisher of one of the top websites For
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: tennessee volunteers fans vulquest dot. Com, brent The bengals need
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: to improve their pass. Rush James pierce was among the
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: best in THE sec had one hundred and seven pressures
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: in seventeen and a half sacks over the last couple of.
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: Years how would you Describe James.
• 39:50
  Speaker 6: PIERCE i think he has the terrific first.
• 39:53
  Speaker 13: STEP i think his first step is what makes him.
• 39:56
  Speaker 6: Elak just an explosion that he has with his first.
• 39:59
  Speaker 13: STEP i think he can still become a.
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: Little bit more.
• 40:04
  Speaker 13: Bendable he bends pretty, good BUT i think it's his
• 40:07
  Speaker 13: first step that helps that out a little. Bit and
• 40:09
  Speaker 13: obviously he's got to play the run a little bit.
• 40:11
  Speaker 13: Better but in terms of coming in and rushing the,
• 40:13
  Speaker 13: passer he can cause, problems create. Pressures he can finish
• 40:18
  Speaker 13: a little. Better he did not finish as well as
• 40:20
  Speaker 13: past year as he did the previous.
• 40:21
  Speaker 6: Year but it's that first step that is the. Player
• 40:25
  Speaker 6: is the moment that gets everybody's.
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: Attention let me follow up on his ability to defend the.
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: Run he's slightly less than two hundred and fifty pounds
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: at least that's what he was measured at the. Combine
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: is he big enough to play the run or will
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: he mostly be a pass rush.
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: SPECIALIST i think early in his, Career, dan he's probably
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: a pass rush specialist who will continue to grow into
• 40:48
  Speaker 4: defending the. Run he defended the run better in twenty
• 40:52
  Speaker 4: four than he did in twenty, three SO i think
• 40:55
  Speaker 4: he's made improvements there.
• 40:57
  Speaker 6: AND i think he can play the.
• 40:58
  Speaker 13: Run but he's going to come, in i, think initially
• 41:01
  Speaker 13: in this league and in the, league and be a
• 41:03
  Speaker 13: pass rush specialist first and, foremost and then it, grows you,
• 41:08
  Speaker 13: know potentially out of that with him as he continues
• 41:11
  Speaker 13: to learn and grow into. Games so it's, there he's
• 41:15
  Speaker 13: physically capable of doing. IT i think it's a little
• 41:18
  Speaker 13: bit of understanding and continuing to grow and understanding the
• 41:23
  Speaker 13: leverage in the run.
• 41:24
  Speaker 4: Game he did a nice job at times this year
• 41:26
  Speaker 4: in the run.
• 41:27
  Speaker 6: Game james's biggest issue is when he.
• 41:29
  Speaker 4: Ever he gets into a, situation he tries to free
• 41:32
  Speaker 4: lance a little.
• 41:32
  Speaker 13: Bit he can get himself in. Trouble tennessee's also played
• 41:36
  Speaker 13: him some in. Space they dropped him into some coverage
• 41:40
  Speaker 13: and he can play sideline to sideline, well so he's
• 41:44
  Speaker 13: got some versatility to him other than just pinning his
• 41:46
  Speaker 13: ears back and forwarding the.
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: Quarterback Brent hubbs is our. Guest there are apparently some
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: character concerns Where james is. Concerned ONE nfl scout said
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: the following he's on his own, program the whole team's working,
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: out and he is in his. Apartment what did you
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: hear and what did you?
• 42:03
  Speaker 8: Observe you, KNOW i did.
• 42:06
  Speaker 13: Not hear specifics of him missing a bunch of time
• 42:09
  Speaker 13: or missing time with his, team are blowing off his
• 42:13
  Speaker 13: team or anything like. That the consistent message you've heard
• 42:17
  Speaker 13: From James pier About James peers from day one here
• 42:21
  Speaker 13: is That james has to be a better pro and
• 42:25
  Speaker 13: that means conducting his business seven days a, week three
• 42:29
  Speaker 13: hundred and sixty five days a year as a as
• 42:32
  Speaker 13: a pro. Player AND i think there are Times james
• 42:36
  Speaker 13: did go a little bit on his own and do
• 42:38
  Speaker 13: some things and probably was late for some stuff when
• 42:41
  Speaker 13: he didn't need to be late for some, stuff.
• 42:43
  Speaker 6: AND i think it was just more of a maturity.
• 42:45
  Speaker 13: THING i think That james in THE, nfl it changes
• 42:50
  Speaker 13: for everybody because the money's not. Guaranteed he got a
• 42:54
  Speaker 13: big nil deal his last year here guaranteed money obviously
• 42:59
  Speaker 13: because can't pay for, play so it's not like he
• 43:01
  Speaker 13: had to hit incentives or bonuses to do.
• 43:04
  Speaker 4: That it changes when it becomes a business in The
• 43:08
  Speaker 4: National Football, league AND i Think james's.
• 43:11
  Speaker 13: Challenge is going to be to be a pro every.
• 43:13
  Speaker 13: DAY i think anybody who Knows james or has dealt
• 43:16
  Speaker 13: With james will tell you, that and that's what we'll.
• 43:19
  Speaker 13: SEE i think that's the red. Flag it's not that
• 43:22
  Speaker 13: it's a criminal. Thing it's not that he is a.
• 43:27
  Speaker 6: Big locker room, problem or he fights with his teammates
• 43:30
  Speaker 6: or any of those.
• 43:31
  Speaker 4: Things it's just he's got to be more mature every
• 43:35
  Speaker 4: day as a, professional and that's his.
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: Challenge final question For Brad, hubbs if you had to
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: predict HIS nfl, future what do you think it's going
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: to look.
• 43:45
  Speaker 13: LIKE i think That james is if he's in the right,
• 43:50
  Speaker 13: situation meaning he's got some veterans around him who can mentor,
• 43:55
  Speaker 13: him and he's got a veteran experienced defensive line coach
• 44:00
  Speaker 13: and not a younger.
• 44:01
  Speaker 6: PLAYER i Think james can be a really.
• 44:05
  Speaker 13: Good pass rusher in The National Football league who can
• 44:08
  Speaker 13: play multiple. Downs but if he's not in a good
• 44:12
  Speaker 13: situation where there's a lot of mentorship for him early,
• 44:16
  Speaker 13: on THEN i think you wonder about the maturity level
• 44:19
  Speaker 13: and how much of a pro he's going to, be
• 44:23
  Speaker 13: and what's the.
• 44:23
  Speaker 6: Fight to get him to be that.
• 44:25
  Speaker 4: Way, Now i've been around a lot of guys who
• 44:28
  Speaker 4: have come through The university Of tennessee WHO i would
• 44:31
  Speaker 4: tell you are in a very similar shape than That
• 44:34
  Speaker 4: James pierce is from a maturity, standpoint who went on
• 44:38
  Speaker 4: to be really, productive really good players in The National Football.
• 44:41
  Speaker 6: League out of.
• 44:42
  Speaker 14: Respect for, THEM i won't name their, names but there
• 44:46
  Speaker 14: are certainly guys WHO i would put in the same
• 44:49
  Speaker 14: maturity category As James, pearce who went on to play, eight,
• 44:52
  Speaker 14: ten twelve years in.
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: The National Football.
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: League so is there some risks?
• 44:56
  Speaker 13: There probably not a whole lot more than anybody. Else
• 45:00
  Speaker 13: but you have to understand going in.
• 45:03
  Speaker 4: You're going to have to do some work with him
• 45:05
  Speaker 4: from a maturity, standpoint and not just handing the keys and,
• 45:09
  Speaker 4: say hey, man you're our edge, guy go get.
• 45:11
  Speaker 6: It he's going to have to learn to grow to
• 45:13
  Speaker 6: be a pro every, day.
• 45:14
  Speaker 4: Because that's What tennessee's been trying to do with him
• 45:16
  Speaker 4: since he got To.
• 45:17
  Speaker 13: Tennessee he's better now that he was his first year
• 45:21
  Speaker 13: or two.
• 45:21
  Speaker 6: At, tennessee but there's still another step for.
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: Him pierce is another player who seemed to be getting
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: mocked to The bengals more frequently a few weeks ago
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: than he is. Now he is the most recent projection
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: at number seventeen overall By Jason pruitt Of Draft. Plex
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: we profiled safety Nick Emon warrri. Earlier there's another safety
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: getting a lot Of bengals, Buzz George's Malachi, starks a
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: three year starter and a two time first Team All.
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: American Former bulldogs QUARTERBACK Dj shockley is part of The
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: georgia radio broadcast.
• 45:57
  Speaker 15: Crew it starts with who this guy is to come
• 46:01
  Speaker 15: in and play In Kirby smart's defense at that safety
• 46:04
  Speaker 15: spot that they asked him to play it as a
• 46:06
  Speaker 15: true freshman and to put the numbers he.
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: Did you mentioned it being a two.
• 46:09
  Speaker 15: Time All, american and he is one of the smartest
• 46:12
  Speaker 15: guys That i've been around that plays that. Position AND
• 46:15
  Speaker 15: i think when you play safety At georgia and you
• 46:18
  Speaker 15: play safety For Kirby, smart it adds a little bit
• 46:21
  Speaker 15: extra to your plate because of the guy who's.
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: Coaching actually played that, position.
• 46:25
  Speaker 15: And the guy is probably one of those kind of
• 46:30
  Speaker 15: kids that you know as a, father you, LIKE i
• 46:32
  Speaker 15: hope my daughter gets a chance to date this guy
• 46:35
  Speaker 15: BECAUSE i know who he.
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: Is and what he's. About that's kind of person you
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: like in character you get from A malachi starts and
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: then you talk about what he can do on the.
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: FIELD i think this guy's the.
• 46:45
  Speaker 15: LIMIT i think he probably played every position besides nose
• 46:48
  Speaker 15: tackle on His georgia. Defense he was you, know, rushing
• 46:51
  Speaker 15: he was you, know a, linebacker he played their star,
• 46:54
  Speaker 15: position he.
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: Played the deep. Hole he did a little bit of
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: every day for.
• 46:57
  Speaker 15: Him AND i think that versatility is what makes him
• 46:59
  Speaker 15: so special is you.
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: Can put him. Anywhere he can cover.
• 47:02
  Speaker 15: People he's got great ball skills and the guy understands the,
• 47:06
  Speaker 15: game can cover the can cover as good as. Anybody
• 47:10
  Speaker 15: but also if he's in that deep, third, uh he's
• 47:13
  Speaker 15: got really great. Range so this guy has everything you
• 47:16
  Speaker 15: want from a prototypical.
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: Safety BUT i think the biggest thing is this guy's a.
• 47:19
  Speaker 15: Leader he brings everybody with him and he wants the
• 47:22
  Speaker 15: best for everybody around, him and he will always push
• 47:25
  Speaker 15: the guys around.
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: Him you've played, quarterbacks so you can recognize the safety
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: that can diagnose offenses and understand what they're trying to.
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: Do how Is malachai in that.
• 47:37
  Speaker 15: Area, yeah that's a great point BECAUSE i think that's
• 47:41
  Speaker 15: what you have to do in the next.
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: Level you better have have some kind of recognition of
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: what's to.
• 47:44
  Speaker 15: Come and this is a guy Who i've sat down
• 47:47
  Speaker 15: with the defensive quarter of The Glenn shoeman At Jordan
• 47:50
  Speaker 15: ford and we went through certain. Days he, says Watch malakai.
• 47:54
  Speaker 15: Here you can see him point our. Stuff you can
• 47:55
  Speaker 15: see him get guys in. Place you can see him
• 47:58
  Speaker 15: point out different formations and where the motion's coming.
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: From and what's coming out of. It and just talking with, him.
• 48:04
  Speaker 15: You understand he speaks the language first, off but then
• 48:06
  Speaker 15: he understands what the offices are trying to.
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: Do AND i.
• 48:10
  Speaker 15: Think a lot of people you, know go back to high.
• 48:12
  Speaker 15: School when this guy played, quarterback gots played. Everything so
• 48:14
  Speaker 15: that tells you he's smart enough that he knows what
• 48:17
  Speaker 15: officer are trying to. Do but he played a, position
• 48:19
  Speaker 15: but he also played on that, side so it gives
• 48:21
  Speaker 15: him a little bit of an advantage once he plays
• 48:24
  Speaker 15: that safety.
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: Spot so he's excited to.
• 48:26
  Speaker 15: Watch he's one of those guys THAT i think will
• 48:29
  Speaker 15: be really smart with able to diagnose.
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: It to recognized and then.
• 48:33
  Speaker 15: Be able to have that reaction to go get it
• 48:35
  Speaker 15: and that's what makes HIM i think special.
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: Too do you think he's ready to start as a
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: rookie or would he be better off at least beginning
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: in nickel and dime packages and learning from.
• 48:45
  Speaker 3: Vets now Got.
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: Starts is a day one.
• 48:48
  Speaker 15: Starter this guy has the, tools he has the warrif
• 48:51
  Speaker 15: all to come. In he's gonna come in day one
• 48:53
  Speaker 15: and he's probably gonna be the first one, in the
• 48:55
  Speaker 15: last one, out and he wants to be a. Sponge
• 48:57
  Speaker 15: he will learn from everybody around. Him he will ask
• 49:00
  Speaker 15: questions the lore AND i think this guy day one
• 49:03
  Speaker 15: will be a starter for whoever he ends up going
• 49:05
  Speaker 15: to simply because of that. Feature now he has all
• 49:09
  Speaker 15: the flayers in the, world but he also has it,
• 49:11
  Speaker 15: upstairs AND i think that's what's really going to get
• 49:13
  Speaker 15: him on the field really, quickly is his ability to.
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: Learn defenses and play at a high.
• 49:18
  Speaker 15: Level SO i Speak Malacho starks day one of THE
• 49:22
  Speaker 15: nfl season to be in the.
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: Lineup walterfootball Dot com And Nick wright From Fox sports
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: both have The bengals Taking starks in their most recent mock.
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: Drafts starts is number nineteen on The briggler list and
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: number twenty Nine according To, jeremiah there are three players,
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: left and next on the list is a guy who
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: stole the show at THE Nfl combine this, Year TEXAS
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: a and M, Edge Shamar. STEWART i caught up with
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: the voice of The, Aggies Andrew. Monaco Andrew shamar is six,
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: five two. Seventy he ran a four five ninety at The.
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: Combine he did a four the inch vertical. Leap how
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: would you Describe Shamar stewart's raw?
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: Talent?
• 50:05
  Speaker 16: Freakish, Right that's the word that we keep, hearing don't
• 50:08
  Speaker 16: we dan freakish For Schamar, stewart AND i just you,
• 50:11
  Speaker 16: KNOW i couldn't be happier for. Him he wasn't happy
• 50:14
  Speaker 16: with his season a couple of seasons, ago and he
• 50:17
  Speaker 16: really dedicated himself to not just the talent of what
• 50:20
  Speaker 16: he was going to do next, level but to help the.
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: Team and this Guy.
• 50:24
  Speaker 16: Mike elko had brought in Before mike goes To duke
• 50:27
  Speaker 16: and then comes back To TEXAS.
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: A and m knows all about. Him he absolutely rewarded
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: him for. That i'm excited.
• 50:34
  Speaker 16: About what's next For Schamar. Stewart he did everything that
• 50:38
  Speaker 16: he could possibly do At TEXAS. A AND. M AND
• 50:41
  Speaker 16: i don't want to say play out of, position but
• 50:43
  Speaker 16: he got.
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: The chance to play inside and.
• 50:46
  Speaker 16: OUTSIDE i think kind of understand what his teammates are
• 50:49
  Speaker 16: doing and how they all work in concert up. Front
• 50:52
  Speaker 16: But i'm really excited About Schamar stewart in THE. NFL
• 50:55
  Speaker 16: i REALLY i think he's going to be very similar
• 50:58
  Speaker 16: To Eddrian cooper At Green, bay Where edrin blossomed very
• 51:02
  Speaker 16: late At TEXAS a AND, m and then when it
• 51:04
  Speaker 16: all clicked for, him he's just taken off on the next.
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: Level so the question mark is obviously the. Production it
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: did not match the, potential at least in terms of.
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: Sacks he had one and a half in each of
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: his three. Seasons why do you think that was the.
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: CASE i think there's a combination of a couple of.
• 51:23
  Speaker 16: THINGS i think there are some mistackles which he can
• 51:25
  Speaker 16: always work on and clean up a little, bit and you,
• 51:28
  Speaker 16: know once you wrap.
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: Up you've got to take.
• 51:30
  Speaker 16: Down but he is Disruptive dan to tell you the,
• 51:34
  Speaker 16: truth And Mike oko has talked about. This he has
• 51:36
  Speaker 16: been the defensive coordinator and head coach of some teams
• 51:39
  Speaker 16: that they had a lot of, sacks but they didn't
• 51:42
  Speaker 16: have the disruption or get a quarterback out of. Rhythm
• 51:44
  Speaker 16: so you leave the game, going, wow we had six sacks,
• 51:46
  Speaker 16: yet but we just didn't do what we wanted to
• 51:48
  Speaker 16: do on. DEFENSE i Think shamar now gives you that.
• 51:52
  Speaker 16: DISRUPTION i think he's A those tackles for, loss those
• 51:56
  Speaker 16: quarterback hurries.
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: Can be just as important.
• 52:00
  Speaker 16: As the sacks team, wise individual, Wise you're exactly.
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: Right the numbers aren't. There BUT i think what he
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: does with that front, four what.
• 52:10
  Speaker 16: He does on his, own the way he learned to fight,
• 52:13
  Speaker 16: through there'd be a little more attention to him as
• 52:16
  Speaker 16: he got better and better and still put up those
• 52:19
  Speaker 16: hurries and put up those. TFLs that's WHERE i think
• 52:23
  Speaker 16: he kind of matured a little bit and saw how he.
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: Could affect that.
• 52:27
  Speaker 16: Game, no the sacks are, DOWN i agree with, that
• 52:30
  Speaker 16: and there were some mistackles for, him BUT i think,
• 52:33
  Speaker 16: OVERALL i think he can be a disruptive end for.
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: Sure i've read that his nickname was or is the
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: menace for how hard he. Plays how would you describe
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: the motor.
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: Always?
• 52:45
  Speaker 9: Running AND i think he had to learn that a little.
• 52:48
  Speaker 16: Bit dan in fairness coming out Of South florida and
• 52:51
  Speaker 16: so highly. Thought but when he comes onto the, campus
• 52:55
  Speaker 16: he's working With Elijah robinson who's now.
• 52:58
  Speaker 6: The defensive coordinator At Series use.
• 53:00
  Speaker 16: And FORMER d lineman and a player here and a
• 53:04
  Speaker 16: great one In Terry price who passed, away and there
• 53:07
  Speaker 16: was that closeness And Terry price was always on, them
• 53:11
  Speaker 16: like you would be out on that field and all
• 53:13
  Speaker 16: of a sudden you would Hear terry's gruff, voice Where
• 53:16
  Speaker 16: elijah was very much, hey this is what you can.
• 53:19
  Speaker 16: DO i Thought elijah was always very positive and it
• 53:22
  Speaker 16: was going to Take shamar a little.
• 53:23
  Speaker 2: Bit he got to watch guys like come through.
• 53:27
  Speaker 9: The program like recently for, Him.
• 53:29
  Speaker 16: Bobby, Brown Justin, madabik those, guys and that's WHAT i
• 53:33
  Speaker 16: think he aimed. For and then working in concerts with
• 53:37
  Speaker 16: HIS d, lineman With Shamar, turner With Nick, gordon With
• 53:39
  Speaker 16: cash As how AND i love what he did with
• 53:42
  Speaker 16: the young. Guys and because Of chamar being the menace
• 53:47
  Speaker 16: and going all out all the time and competing every
• 53:51
  Speaker 16: day in, PRACTICE i think that's going to be some
• 53:54
  Speaker 16: of the residue with guys LIKE Dj hicks who's, here
• 53:57
  Speaker 16: And Rylan kennedy And Solomon.
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: Williams that's gonna Rub. OFF i don't Think.
• 54:03
  Speaker 16: Shamar stewart was doing that when he first got. HERE
• 54:05
  Speaker 16: i think he learned that once he stepped off that,
• 54:08
  Speaker 16: field that it's how you. Compete monday Through friday is
• 54:11
  Speaker 16: going to tell you how successful you're going to be
• 54:12
  Speaker 16: on A.
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: Saturday how is he versus the run getting better getting better?
• 54:17
  Speaker 16: AGAIN i Think, DAN i think that's where what he
• 54:19
  Speaker 16: had to learn that you, know when you're in high,
• 54:21
  Speaker 16: school you're.
• 54:22
  Speaker 2: Just more athletic than everybody.
• 54:23
  Speaker 16: Else guess, What you're not as athletic as everyone when
• 54:28
  Speaker 16: you first come into THE. Sec this is WHAT i
• 54:31
  Speaker 16: love About Shamar stewart IS i think he can go
• 54:33
  Speaker 16: sideline the sideline and there are many times that you
• 54:36
  Speaker 16: would see him track someone. DOWN i know it's not
• 54:39
  Speaker 16: against the, run and again it's the wrapping up ability
• 54:43
  Speaker 16: that's that's that's going to be that next step for.
• 54:46
  Speaker 16: Him and also knowing what lanes and camp freelance at,
• 54:50
  Speaker 16: times AND i think he's going to learn to be
• 54:52
  Speaker 16: more of a pass rusher Where Nick gorton has that
• 54:55
  Speaker 16: when he came in From.
• 54:56
  Speaker 9: Purdue but the one play that sticks.
• 54:58
  Speaker 16: Out to me About shamarsh And Mike elko talks about
• 55:01
  Speaker 16: in any big, play whether it's a running back on
• 55:04
  Speaker 16: in for a touchdown or this was an interception At,
• 55:07
  Speaker 16: florida he talks about the men of the. Ten, Well
• 55:09
  Speaker 16: Bryce anderson gets the, interception but of the men of the,
• 55:12
  Speaker 16: ten his leading blocker going into the end zone With
• 55:16
  Speaker 16: Shimar stuart from his defensive line, position he outran everybody
• 55:20
  Speaker 16: to make sure he That Bryce anderson was part of that.
• 55:23
  Speaker 2: CONVOY i love that. SPEED i think he's got that strength.
• 55:27
  Speaker 16: Now utilizing it all, together And i'm excited about what
• 55:30
  Speaker 16: he has learned here at AN m but what he's
• 55:32
  Speaker 16: going to learn as well with some technique next level
• 55:36
  Speaker 16: can really make him.
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: Effective, andrew here's my final. Question the last defensive end
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: that The bengals selected in the first round Was Miles
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: murphy out Of clemson a couple of years. Ago he
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: hasn't contributed that much so. Far The bengals are hopeful
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: that this will be a breakout year for. Him do
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: you View schamar as A day one contributor or will
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: it require some?
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: Patients, yea and.
• 56:00
  Speaker 16: It might require a little bit of, Patience but that's
• 56:02
  Speaker 16: always hard if you're going to select a first, rounder
• 56:04
  Speaker 16: right they have to be.
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: THERE i Think Shamar, STEWART.
• 56:07
  Speaker 16: I think once he, LEARNS i think he can.
• 56:10
  Speaker 2: Contribute.
• 56:11
  Speaker 16: Now he was part of That CLEMSON d line that was, outstanding,
• 56:15
  Speaker 16: right like everybody went into THE nfl that was great and.
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: A way to work in.
• 56:20
  Speaker 16: CONJUNCTION i feel the same way About Shamar stewart working
• 56:23
  Speaker 16: with HIS d line and how he didn't have to
• 56:26
  Speaker 16: get worn down and be. FRESH i think he's so
• 56:29
  Speaker 16: excited for his. FUTURE i think he's realizing that there's
• 56:32
  Speaker 16: still some stuff.
• 56:33
  Speaker 2: UNTAPPED i would certainly. Hope, look you never want to
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: say he's A.
• 56:38
  Speaker 16: Miles garrett, type Because miles the finished, product that's what we're.
• 56:42
  Speaker 16: Seeing but When miles was At TEXAS a and m
• 56:45
  Speaker 16: even he had to learn some, Things Von miller had
• 56:48
  Speaker 16: to learn some things and then they. BLOSSOMED i certainly
• 56:51
  Speaker 16: hope that's the same trajectory For Shamar.
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: Stewart shamar is way up at number nine On Brugler's
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: top one, hundred and he's number twenty seven on The Jeremiah.

• 58:41
  Speaker 15: the outside and.
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: Would give me the opportunity to go one.
• 58:44
  Speaker 15: ON one i think he's gonna be one of those
• 58:46
  Speaker 15: guys that you look up later in, the, two three
• 58:49
  Speaker 15: four years, and, say hey this guy's a double diggy
• 58:51
  Speaker 15: sat guy SIMILAR to I Could, trayvon walker who didn't
• 58:53
  Speaker 15: have a lot of big numbers coming Out, of georgia
• 58:56
  Speaker 15: end up being a number, one pick but.
• 58:57
  Speaker 2: End up, you know having a pretty good career. To
• 59:00
  Speaker 2: start so he's.
• 59:01
  Speaker 15: Gonna be one of those guys you'll love in the.
• 59:03
  Speaker 15: Locker room but also it's gonna be a guy that
• 59:05
  Speaker 15: shows up every day ready to work and will have
• 59:08
  Speaker 15: the production if given.
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: THE opportunity i noted that he's, Only twenty he's one
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: of the younger guys in this. Draft class how much
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: room is there, for growth both physically and in terms
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: of learning.
• 59:19
  Speaker 15: The, GAME yeah i still think there's tons. OF growth
• 59:22
  Speaker 15: i think he's. STILL learning i think he's still learning
• 59:25
  Speaker 15: how to use. His body like, you said he's only
• 59:27
  Speaker 15: twenty and he's gonna be coming to this league where
• 59:28
  Speaker 15: he's gonna be to learn a lot of. Different things
• 59:30
  Speaker 15: he's gonna face a lot of. Different TACKLES but i
• 59:32
  Speaker 15: think Development at georgia would be a. For, him obviously
• 59:36
  Speaker 15: he didn't have to be the quote unquote ideal guy
• 59:38
  Speaker 15: every single game he. Went OUT and i think that's
• 59:41
  Speaker 15: what makes these guys so good who played On The
• 59:43
  Speaker 15: kerby Schmart And, glenn schuman is, you know they, ask for,
• 59:47
  Speaker 15: you know, high production but they don't ask you to
• 59:49
  Speaker 15: have to do everything because they put these guys in
• 59:52
  Speaker 15: so many. Different positions they play so, many guys and
• 59:55
  Speaker 15: they want everybody to play at a. High LEVEL but
• 59:57
  Speaker 15: i do believe this guy hasn't even reached the pinnacle
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 15: of where he.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 2: Can't go he got some INJURIES like.
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 15: I mentioned the last, few YEARS and i know that's
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 15: a big part of it. As well but if this guy,
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 15: is healthy you better look out because he will have
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 15: one of THOSE phenomenal i think careers down the low
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 15: to look at a guy who can look the part
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 15: but also play the part.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: As Well the bengals often talk about trying to find
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: guys that love the game and love? The grind does
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: that describe mikel through?
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 15: And THROUGH and, i think, YOU know i go back
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 15: to you know where he's coming from and the guy that's,
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 15: coached him and if you don't love, the game you're
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 15: not gonna make it At the University, of Georgia And
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 15: kirby smart is one of the mostly intense Guys that i've.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 15: Been around he actually coached me my, you know my
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 15: Senior year georgia actually coach. Running backs and then obviously
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 15: you know what he's done throughout his. Career now but
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 15: you ask any guy who comes from that university that
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 15: has practice For, coach smart you know exactly what. It's
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 15: like and this guy gets everything out. Of you he
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 15: push you to the limited in and you look up
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 15: and across from you there as another five.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: Star guy so each and. Every day you compete against,
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 2: the best and you're gonna.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 15: Get pushed and that's one Thing That kurby schmark doesn't
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 15: care where you're, you know come in ranked that no
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 15: matter you know how much, You play he's gonna push
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 15: you to the limit to get the most out. Of
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 15: YOU and i think that helps these guys once they
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 15: go TO the nfl because they have already seen what it's,
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 15: like to, you know be coach at a.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 2: High level but also play at a high level and
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 2: be coached in the.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 15: Same way so the intensity that is, in practice the
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 15: intensity that they bring in, THE game i think only
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 15: you know creates the player you get once you get
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 15: To The National.
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: Football league last Thing about mike kel is he ready
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: to play a big role right away or will a
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: little patience?
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 15: BE required i think a little patience who will be
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 15: REQUIRED because i think he's going to be healthy, coming
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 15: off but he's still got to learn. This game and
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 15: as athletic and as talented, it is we Know That
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 15: National football league is a little different of a beast
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 15: and you got to figure out, the speed you got
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 15: to figure out all the, different moves you got to,
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 15: figure out, you know what offense are trying to do,
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 15: to you and guys are just that much more talented
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 15: now planning sec planning against some of the top players in.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 2: The country that.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 15: Will HELP but i still think that jumped To The National,
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 15: football league you need a little, time to, you know
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 15: get yourself ready. To GO but i think once he frees,
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 15: it out he's a guy that's a.
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 2: Quick learner he did It. AT georgia i think he.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 15: Do say In The National, FOOTBALL league, I mean i
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 15: don't expect him come in and, you know gets full
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 15: five secs in the, first GAME but i do expect
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 15: him to have an impact and by in that, rookie
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 15: season expects him to have, a huge, you know impact
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 15: on whatever team he ends up.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: Being On pete CHRISCO From cbs sports is AMONG the
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: nfl experts who Has the bengals Taking mikel williams, twelve
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: down one. To go our, final player alphabetically is Offensive
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: Lineman gray Zabel From North. Dakota, state ironically if he's
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: picked By, the bengals he could be in line to
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: replace his former College Teammate. Cordell vohlson Here's the bison's,
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: Radio Voice, sam niederman just back From The white house

  Speaker 1: state he Was Consensus all american, last year and he
• 1:03:19

  Speaker 17: let some Of the bengals fans who might be curious
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 17: know about somebody who's an absolute gem of a person
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 17: and he's going to be a Great pro what.
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 2: Stood out to me.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 17: Probably became most Apparent in december of twenty, twenty Three
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 17: when gray decided he was going to STAY at ndsu
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 17: despite getting a bunch of nil attention and offers from
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 17: big power schools at the fbist level of. College, FOOTBALL well,
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 17: i mean he was coming off of a really strong,
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 17: junior season had played both guard and tackle and was
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 17: actually snubbed in, my Opinion for all conference honors In
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 17: The Missouri Valley football Conference Where North dakota, state plays
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 17: and was really kind of under the radar from an,
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 17: accolade standpoint but was definitely on the radar of.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 3: Some big suitors AT the. Fbs level he.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 17: Turned away big money and decided to come back for a.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 17: Senior year he wanted to play with his, younger Brother
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 17: jet zabel was at tight End For North dakota state
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 17: and was a freshman last Season when gray was a fifth.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 2: Year senior so when.
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 17: He decided, to stay the loyalty stood out and he
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 17: immediately endeared Himself To, bison nation our fans out here
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 17: for just the willingness to buck, the, TREND right, i
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 17: mean at this day and age of the transfer, portal
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 17: nil especially in, college football the grass is usually greener,
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 17: for most but it Wasn't for, gray's abele and he decided.
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 17: To stay be advising and absolutely rocket as you just
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 17: Outline Consensus.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 3: First Team all AMERICAN leads.
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 17: Ndsu to ITS tenth fcs national championship in the last.
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 17: Fourteen years was a left tackle and the anchor for the.
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 17: OFFENSIVE line. A leader, I mean i'd say loyalty and
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 17: leadership stand out the most when you're Talking About gray's
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 17: abel for staying Here At North dakota state and just.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 3: His personality he held.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 17: Guys accountable he mentored along some younger offensive linemen this
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 17: past year who are first. Year starters first guy to
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 17: help up a quarterback after, a run first guy to
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 17: be out there pushing the pile.
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 3: For a running back after he's.
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 17: Already downfield just the intangible qualities that you would want
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 17: in an offensive lineman to help build around for. A
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 17: franchise that's what stands out.
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: To Me dan sammy's, six' six, so he's tall but
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: he's not mammoth in. Terms of width he's listed at
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: three hundred. And twelve pounds are there any concerns about
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: his ability TO anchor? Against, NFL power.
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah i think that would be. INTERESTING to watch i think.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 17: His versatility is the, calling card right especially during this
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 17: draft cycle in the last. COUPLE of, months i mean
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 17: he goes down to mobile and absolutely.
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 3: Tears it Up At, the senior bowls some people.
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 17: Said it was one of the best practice weeks they've
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 17: seen from. An offensive Lineman At the senior Bowl He
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 17: wins practice Player, of the week takes reps at every
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 17: single offensive line position we, know, about center right He
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 17: Played both garden TAPLE. Spots at ndsu CENTER is where
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 17: i think A lot of nfl scouts feel, like he
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 17: projects and certainly on the, interior in general as far
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 17: as the width and being, ABLE to anchor i know
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 17: he'd be able to adjust as. TIME goes on i think,
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 17: he's a coachable versatile type of prospect that has taken
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 17: to learning all five. Offensive line, spots you know the
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 17: Cross TRAINING for india u offensive lineman Is tremendous ndsu
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 17: as far as the, offensive line pedigree it goes back
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 17: all The Way, to billy turner who is Selected by
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 17: the dolphins in the third round back. In Twenty fourteen
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 17: joe haig was, a veteran lineman Was With the indianapolis
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 17: colts for a while and Then Here recently dylan raidents in. Twenty,
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 17: Twenty one obviously bengals fans Are Familiar with cordell volson
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 17: fourth round selection in, twenty twenty Two and then cody
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 17: Malk Where The tampa bay buccaneers was picked in the
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 17: second round. Twenty Twenty three so gray's kind of the next,
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 17: iteration OF them and I would say dan he's the
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 17: top prospect out of all of them in, terms of
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 17: projections the technical things as far AS, TRANSLATED the nfl
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 17: i think that will be something curious to watch once
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 17: he finds.
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 3: His landing spot.
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: Job one in Cincinnati Is protecting joe burrow obviously. Is his, Strength,
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: PASS protection yeah i thought he.
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 17: Was terrific, at left tackle protecting The Blindside, for cam
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 17: miller the NDS'S quarterback who i think will have a
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 17: chance to go in the late rounds if NOT get
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 17: a udfa opportunity with the TEAM In the, Nfl pass
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 17: protext i'd.
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 2: Say was definitely a. PLUS this year I really like
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 2: gray in the run, block.
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 17: GAME though, too i mean you want to talk about a,
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 17: guy who's physical guy who's the hammer. Not the nail
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 17: THAT'S something that i think stands out right away when.
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 17: YOU watch him i mentioned earlier he'll always push the
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 17: pile on. A blockdown field he's A guy that i
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 17: think can really pave on, That interior too so.
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 2: BOTH are standout i think he really.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 17: Jumped off the Page two to Bison Head, coach tim
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 17: polisek who has coached some of the league's best offensive
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 17: lineman going back to His tenure at iowa when He
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 17: Was a hawk guys. Offensive line Coach He, coached tristan
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 17: wurs who just happens to be the highest Paid In
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 17: The national football League. With the Buccaneers Also Coached tyler Lindon.
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 17: Brams with baltimore THEY'RE in The afc norths so this
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 17: is a guy who's Been the next buison To play
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 17: On Sundays of coach paulisek made mention of that at
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 17: this time last year when we're getting ready for, our
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 17: spring game and it was obviously evident in. His Senior
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 17: year so i'd say both they run the run blocking
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 17: game and his past.
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 2: Pro are excellent i'd give a slight edge to. The.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: Run game sam here's. My Final question kevin zeitler is
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: the Only guard the bengals have ever drafted in the
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: first round. In their history so If they take gray in,
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: the first round they are expecting him To be a.
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: Day one starter do you see him as a Plug
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: and play day one STARTER In The, afc north, Oh.
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 17: Without, Question, WITHOUT question dad i think it would, be
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 17: pretty historic Obviously from a bengals perspective And From A north. Dakota,
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 17: STATE perspective, right i mean you're talking about a program
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 17: that has produced multiple draft picks and it's good vision one.
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 2: Era and most notably at the.
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 17: Quarterback position with first Round Picks and Carson Wentz and
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 17: trey lance going to, the. Top five respectively but it's
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 17: never been done by a non quarterback, for this program
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 17: and it's never.
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 2: Been done by an.
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 17: OFFENSIVE lineman Yet i think gray's abel is that guy
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 17: to break through and Become the third day ONE pick,
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 17: in ndsu.
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 2: History and To be a, day one starter and to
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 2: do it.
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 3: Potentially IN The.
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 17: Rugged afc north, As, You know dan he's absolutely cut.
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 3: Out for.
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 17: It HIS intangibles like i said in, your first question
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 17: that's the first thing that stands. OUT his, personality i
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 17: mean we were Just At the white house this week
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 17: and seeing Him meet the president and smile. AND his
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 17: wit i think that's stuff that translates into. The locker,
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 17: room his. MATURITY his leadership i think the technical stuff
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 17: that needs to be.
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 2: Developed will be. Developed and coached but he is ready.
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 17: AND he is i think he's going to be a
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 17: plug and play player No matter.
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 1: Where ian's up gray was recently Mocked to the Bengals By.
